Create the ideal growing environment for seeds and young plants with Sinclair Vermiculite Medium Pack 850g. This versatile horticultural growing medium combines excellent moisture retention with improved aeration, helping provide roots with the balance of water and air they need for healthy development.
With a granule size of 2.0–5.0mm, Sinclair Vermiculite can be incorporated into growing media at up to 50% by volume. It can also be used as a lightweight covering for newly sown seeds, making it a particularly useful addition to your propagation and seed-sowing supplies.
Retain moisture while improving aeration
One of the main benefits of vermiculite is its ability to retain water without adversely affecting aeration. When incorporated into compost or another growing medium, it helps hold valuable moisture while maintaining air spaces around developing roots.
Its water-holding properties can help extend the time between watering. Vermiculite also makes growing media easier to re-wet if it has been allowed to dry out, helping you maintain more consistent growing conditions.
Ideal for sowing seeds
Sinclair Vermiculite is particularly useful when sowing seeds and raising young plants. As well as retaining water and air, it can hold nutrients and act as a nutrient buffer within the growing medium.
Its excellent insulating properties also make vermiculite a useful addition to seed composts. Alternatively, use it as a light covering over newly sown seeds to help maintain suitable conditions during germination.
