-
KG AND LITERS ARE NOT EQUIVALENT BECAUSE THE SPECIFIC WEIGHTS OF 10 LITERS OF VERMICULITE BODIES ARE DIFFERENT
-
FOR EXAMPLE 1 KG OF IRON COVERS A HANDFUL WHILE 1 KG OF COTTON COVERS A LARGE AREA
-
VERMICULITE OCCUPIES A LOT OF SPACE IN VOLUME, AS IT IS A LIGHT PRODUCT, IT IS LOW IN WEIGHT
-
Vermiculite Properties: Size: 1
-
4
-
4 mm
-
Bulk Density: 100
-
130 kg/m3 pH 5
-
7 Water retention capacity: 300% Vermiculite is long-lasting, clean, odorless, light and has the ability to retain all the nutrients the plant needs
-
Its structure does not deteriorate for 20 years
-
Promotes a fast and strong root development
-
Very light and sterile
-
Has the capacity to pick up fertilizers quickly and deliver them to the plant slowly
-
It prevents the development of algae
-
Accelerates germination and strengthens development
-
If the sown seeds are covered with vermiculite, they germinate quickly
-
The roots of the plant mixed with vermiculite are protected from frosts in winter and from heat in summer
-
High aeration capacity
-
Has high water holding capacity
-
Since it is sterile, the seeds are ready to germinate without rotting
-
Has the ability to release absorbed liquids slowly
-
Ensures the healthiest development by collecting fertilizers and irrigation water mixed into the soil and gradually adding them to the plant roots
-
Used in seedling cultivation by mixing 1/3 with peat
