What Is Gro-Sure Vermiculite?
Gro-Sure Vermiculite is ideal for helping to grow seeds. It's suitable for indoor and outdoor plants. It helps to absorb nutrients for your plant's roots to access, preventing them from being washed out.
Vermiculite is a naturally forming mineral, extracted from mines. The natural laminar structure allows the material to expand up to 30 times its size during heating. The natural shape, once heated, gives excellent insulation, drainage and aeration properties.
Lightweight
Vermiculite helps to retain moisture and as well as nutrients. It also provides insulation for healthy seed germination.
Why use Vermicuite?
Gro-Sure Vermiculite encourages a high moisture environment that seedlings need for normal development.
Gardeners all over the world use vermiculite to help improve germination and early development. Improved nutrient retention and distribution is another reason to add it to your chosen media i.e. coco/compost.
Where to use Gro-Sure Vermiculite?
Mixed with your chosen potting medium, Vermiculite helps to absorb nutrients and make them available to your developing seedlings. Vermiculite helps to keep the media light and maintains high moisture with air pockets, allowing more air and water to reach the roots. Vermiculite improves nutrient uptake, promoting plant health and explosive growth. Gro-Sure vermiculite is easy and safe to handle, odourless, lightweight and simple to use.
How much Vermiculite Do I Need to Use?
Either use 100% Vermiculite to sow seeds into, or use it to make up around 10-50% of the total volume of potting mix. Add 10-20% Vermiculite if you want better water retention and don't plan on using a lot of extra nutrients.
When sowing seeds always following the directions on the seed packet.
Seeds of all sizes can be raised in just Gro-Sure Vermiculite.
Alternatively seeds can be raised in a 50:50 mix of a seed compost, such as Biochar Carbon Gold Seed Compost and Gro-Sure Vermiculite. This is particularly beneficial for very small seeds. Sow seeds thinly and evenly, making sure they are not too deep in the compost. Cover seed trays with a thin layer of Gro-Sure Vermiculite and gently moisten. Avoid over-firming.
Pricking out
When seedlings are large enough to handle, remove from seed trays with a dibber or pencil.
Plant into a Seed & Cutting Compost or a mixture of this compost with 25% to 30% of Gro-Sure Vermiculite. Space seedlings well apart to allow for strong growth. Water regularly to avoid compost from drying out until seedlings are ready to be potted on.
Potting on
Use a mix of an All Purpose Compost with 25% to 30% Gro-Sure Vermiculite. This creates a light and very open structure enabling compost to absorb and retain moisture for easier re-wetting.
Before transplanting plants from pots to containers, we recommend watering the plant well and allowing to drain. Remove plants from their pots and place into the container, firming compost around the plant roots. Once the container is fully planted, water well and feed as appropriate.
