Sinclair Vermiculite Fine 100L — Fine-grade expanded vermiculite for seed sowing, propagation and growing-media moisture management.
Selected for professional horticulture, nursery production and garden or landscape applications where the product suits the crop and growing conditions.
The fine 1–3mm grade is suitable for fine seed-covering work and incorporation into appropriately designed propagation media. Its layered structure helps manage water and soluble nutrients around developing roots.
Use a light, even covering where suitable for the crop. Follow seed-specific sowing depth and light requirements, and maintain moisture without saturating the propagation medium.
Fine vermiculite is smaller in particle size and has a higher manufacturer-stated water-holding figure than the medium grade. Choose by seed size, substrate texture and desired water management.
