What is Coarse Vermiculite?
Coarse Vermiculite is a natural mineral extracted from rocks that are rich in certain minerals such as magnesium and iron. It is a popular soil amendment and hydroponic growing medium for many reasons. First, it provides excellent drainage and aeration for the plant roots, which promotes healthy growth. Secondly, it can hold and release nutrients over time, reducing the need for frequent fertilization. Lastly, it is a lightweight material that reduces the overall weight of your potting mix or hydroponic setup, making it easier to move around.
