Vermiculite Fine Grade - 12 Qt Bag

Loosen Mixes and Hold Moisture - 12 Qt Bag

Compacted mixes make it hard for roots to spread, and uneven moisture makes feeding harder to manage. Fine grade horticultural vermiculite keeps a mix from clumping and holds water and nutrients for the roots to draw on later. The material is described as clean, odorless, non-toxic and sterile.

The 12 Qt bag suits hobbyists, small-area gardeners and growers testing a new blend before they buy in volume. It is sold as a single bag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does vermiculite do in a growing mix?
A: It holds moisture and nutrients and keeps the mix from clumping. That gives roots more air and room to develop.

Q: Can I use it in hydroponic systems?
A: Yes. A blend of vermiculite and perlite is a common medium for drip and ebb-and-flow systems. Adjust the ratio to how much moisture retention you want.

Q: How does it differ from perlite?
A: Vermiculite holds more water and nutrients. Perlite drains faster and adds air space, so many growers combine them.

Q: Can I mix it with other materials?
A: Yes. It blends with soil, peat, compost or bark. A mix of equal parts vermiculite, compost and peat moss is a common choice for small-area gardening.

Q: Is it sterile?
A: The distributor describes it as completely sterile, so it is not a source of bacterial or fungal problems.
