Natural BIOVITA Vermiculite 1–5 mm – improving soil structure and moisture retention BIOVITA Vermiculite is a natural, expanded mineral with a 1–5 mm fraction, designed to enhance the physical properties of growing substrates. It is produced by heating natural vermiculite deposits to very high temperatures, causing it to expand and form lightweight, porous granules. This structure allows it to both store water and effectively aerate the soil. The product is widely used in the cultivation of potted plants, balcony plants, and greenhouse crops, as well as in seedling production, decorative arrangements, and terrariums. Vermiculite stabilizes soil moisture – it absorbs excess water and then gradually releases it to the root zone, promoting even plant growth and reducing the risk of drying out or overwatering. Thanks to its porous, accordion-like structure, BIOVITA vermiculite improves soil aeration, facilitating root access to oxygen. This is especially important for young plants, cuttings, and delicate root systems. The product is chemically and biologically inert, does not react with fertilizers or substrates, does not alter pH, and does not decompose over time. Vermiculite is a durable material resistant to fungi, mold, and pests. It does not rot or degrade, allowing for multiple uses, including after drying or sterilization. Its natural origin and lack of harmful additives make it safe for both plants and the environment. Key Benefits excellent water retention and gradual release, improves soil aeration and structure, natural material resistant to mold, fungi, and pests, lightweight, durable, and stable – does not compact or decompose, can be reused multiple times, versatile use in gardening, floristry, and terrarium keeping.
