Rich in elements: Organic vermiculite is rich in elements like K, Mg, Ca, Fe and trace amounts of Mn, Cu, Zn, providing nutrition for plants, while regulating acidic soil to neutral and preventing rapid changes in soil PH value. Rooting Cuttings and Seed Germination Propagating a cutting with vermiculite will promote anchorage for new roots, and speed up root growth. Vermiculite can also be used alone or in a potting mix for improved seed germination. It releases moisture to seedlings as and when they need it, allowing for easy removal of seedlings without damage to the roots. Vermiculite is also useful for bulb and root storage. Bedding for Invertebrates Vermiculite is a very unique bedding /substrate material that is the best bedding for invertebrates, especially for rearing spiderlings and housing tropical and high humidity tarantulas. It is also the best substrate for incubating eggs, as it holds moisture and aids in humidifying your pet’s cage.
