Vermiculite 1L

Vermiculite is a natural mineral from the group of Hidroslyudite formed in the ground.

After treatment at a temperature of 1000 0C is converted into light foam. It is inert, chemically and biologically stable sterile. Due to the content of trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and silicon, vermiculite is a naturally occurring biostimulant for growth of plants.

• Packaging: 10l and 100l
• Density: 80-100kg / m3
• Faction: 5-15mm
• pH - 7
• Does not contain asbestos

features:

• With its high property sorption capacity and air, vermiculite is an excellent regulator of humidity and positively affects the development of roots.
• In the soil mixture is added to maintain optimum conditions of soil moisture, air capacity and thermal balance, creating favorable conditions for plant nutrition.
• Due to the porous structure, its granules immediately absorb moisture and nutrients (100 grams absorb about 400ml water) fours attach them to gradually plant.
• The use of vermiculite as a component to the (40%) in the substrate significantly improves drainage properties of the mixture, to increase the porosity and germination, prevents the sealing and soil compaction, prevents the roots from sudden temperature variations ..
• It protects the roots from rotting due to excess irrigation at the same time retains moisture while the roots do not absorb.
• Unlike Agroperlit, retains moisture for longer time.
• Thanks to the excellent sitoploizolatsionni properties, it creates a favorable environment for storage of bulbs, tubers and rhizomes.
• He has a high ion-exchange capacity while keeping the positively charged ions of potassium, magnesium and other trace elements imported fertilizers, which otdavapostepenno plants.
• Significantly improves the structure and aeration of heavy clay soils and water retention capacity of light sandy soils.
• Thanks to its neutral pH may somewhat reduce the acidity of the soil and slow the process of salinisation.
• Especially suitable for construction of lawns as protecting them from excessive moisture or too dry.
• Due to its low thermal conductivity, reduces the risk of frost damage to the root system of perennials.
• In excess fertilization, vermiculite absorbs micro- and macronutrients, while reducing losses of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen.
• Norms of use:
• To increase water retention in peat substrates add 20-40% vermiculite.
• In the substrates for bonsai to 50%.
• To build on lawns: to 5l vermiculite per m2.
• In manure, compost, humus 20%.
• To improve the soil in the garden around 2-5l m2.
• When using vermiculite as drainage, place the bottom of the pot about 100-200ml vermiculite for each liter of volume of the pot.
• Storage of bulbs, seeds and roots, seedlings covered with 2 to 3 cm vermiculite, thus it is protected from sudden temperature fluctuations rot and premature sprouting.
• Vermiculite is particularly suitable as a medium or additive in substrates for terrariums, incubators and aquariums.
