Vermiculite for Gardening Use
Usually, vermiculite is added to the garden soil or vermiculite in potting soil to increase
nutrient and water retention and also aerates the soil so it can make plants healthier
and more robust. Perlite may also be used in potting soils but vermiculite is better for
water retention. Although vermiculite is less aerating than perlite but vermiculite is the
amendment of choice for water-loving plants.
Below are the benefits of Vermiculite for Gardening Use:
• IMPROVES AERATION:
Vermiculite loosens the soil so the roots can more easily reach down and also grow through the soil.
• ENHANCES DRAINAGE:
Vermiculite can soaks up water like a sponge and holds that water until the soil starts to
dry out then releases it. This is good for water-loving plants but not so good for plants
that like dryer soil.
• ADD PERMANENT SOIL CONDITIONER:
Vermiculite does not break down into the soil, unlike compost, which eventually breaks
down into the soil. Yes you are right that compost can add vital nutrients but if you
need to improve drainage permanently then adding vermiculite is a great solution.
This can accelerate the growth young root systems.
• SLIGHTLY RAISES PH:
In general, vermiculite has a neutral pH 7.0 but it depend upon the source from around
the globe and its reaction is alkaline. This is a plus point for acidic soils.
