Quick Answer
Vermiculite is a lightweight, heat-expanded mineral growing-medium amendment supplied in a 100-litre pack. It holds water and nutrients while helping keep growing mixes open, making it useful for seed raising, potting mixes, soil conditioning and hydroponic applications.
Product Description
Exfoliators Premium Vermiculite is a porous, lightweight horticultural mineral for growers who need greater moisture and nutrient holding in a growing mix. Its exfoliated particles support soil aeration and gradually make retained moisture available to plant roots.
Use it in seed-raising media, potting mixes, propagation trays, soil-conditioning blends or suitable hydroponic systems. Because vermiculite retains more water than perlite, it is best matched to the moisture needs of the crop and combined with other media where extra drainage is required.

Buyer FAQs
What is vermiculite used for?
It is used to improve moisture and nutrient holding while supporting aeration in seed-raising mixes, potting media, soil-conditioning blends and suitable hydroponic applications.
Should I use vermiculite by itself?
For most garden and propagation uses, blend it with other media so the water-to-air balance suits the crop. The right combination depends on the plant, container and irrigation method.
How is vermiculite different from perlite?
Vermiculite generally holds more water and nutrients, while perlite is commonly chosen to increase drainage and airflow. They can also be used together in a balanced mix.
