Description

Vermiculite is a natural mineral from the mica family. Heated to a very high temperature, it opens up into fine, light, spongy golden flakes. It absorbs water, holds it, then slowly releases it to the roots.

What it does

  • Steady moisture, without waterlogging the mix.
  • A lighter, airier mix.
  • A good start for seedlings and cuttings, which must never dry out.

How to use it

  • Seedlings and cuttings: half vermiculite, half potting mix. For seeds, a thin layer is enough to cover them.
  • Tropical plants (Calathea, Maranta, ferns): about 1 part to 6 or 7 parts potting mix.
  • Cacti and succulents: avoid it, as it holds too much water. Choose pozzolana or perlite instead.

Which size should I choose?

The 1 L bag is enough for a season of seedlings or a few cuttings. The 2 L and 5 L bags suit repotting several tropical plants; the 5 L works out cheaper per litre.

Frequently asked questions

Vermiculite or perlite? Vermiculite holds water; perlite aerates and drains. They complement each other — that's the idea behind our perlite and vermiculite mix. Does it need replacing? Over time it compacts a little. Renew the potting mix every time you repot. Packed at our Rabat studio. Delivery anywhere in Morocco for 40 MAD, payment on delivery, or collection from the studio at 6 Rue Zemmour, Aviation (Tuesday to Saturday, 10am–6pm).
