Chunky Vermiculite Soil Supplement (Choose Size)
Improved Drainage and Aeration: This medium coarse vermiculite is a lightweight mineral that can be added to potting soil to improve drainage and aeration. This is important for the healthy growth of plants because it allows roots to breathe and prevents soil compaction. Enhanced Water Retention: Vermiculite can hold up to four times its weight in water, which means that it can help to retain moisture in potting soil. This is particularly beneficial for plants that require consistent moisture, as it can help to reduce the need for frequent watering. Increased Nutrient Retention: Vermiculite has a high cation exchange capacity (CEC), which means that it can hold onto nutrients such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. This can help to provide a steady supply of nutrients to plants over time. pH Neutral: Vermiculite is pH neutral, which means that it does not affect the acidity or alkalinity of potting soil. This can be beneficial for plants that have specific pH requirements. Versa
