Vermiculite is the geological name given to a group of hydrated laminar minerals which are aluminum-iron magnesium silicates which have the appearance of mica, and is found in various parts of the world. When processed for horticultural use, the mineral is subjected to intense heat, expanding it into accordion-shaped granules with countless layers of thin plates. Horticultural vermiculite has the excellent property of improving soil aeration while retaining moisture and nutrients to feed roots, cuttings and seeds for faster, maximum growth.

1. Horticultural vermiculite is permanent, clean, odorless, non-toxic and sterile.
2.  Vermiculite promotes faster root growth and gives quick anchorage to young roots.It helps retain air, plant food and moisture, releasing them as the plant requires them.
3.  Vermiculite is very light in weight, easy to handle and easily mixes with soil, peat,composted pine bark , fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
