Sinclair Vermiculite Medium 100L — Medium-grade expanded vermiculite for professional seed covering, propagation and growing-medium blending.
Selected for professional horticulture, nursery production and garden or landscape applications where the product suits the crop and growing conditions.
Expanded vermiculite is a lightweight mineral with a layered structure and cation-exchange properties. In an appropriate growing-medium blend it helps buffer moisture and retain soluble nutrients, while the medium grade provides additional structure.
Apply an appropriate light covering over sown seed where the crop requires it. Maintain even moisture and follow the species-specific sowing depth and germination conditions; do not bury light-germinating seed unnecessarily.
Choose the inclusion rate for the crop and substrate. Vermiculite holds water, so consider the effect on the finished mix rather than assuming it will always improve drainage.
