Dosage and use
Preparation: vermiculite is ready to use - it does not require rinsing or soaking. If you mix it with dry growing medium, do so in a bowl or bag so that the lightweight flakes do not blow away and are distributed evenly through the soil.
Adding to the growing medium: add approx. 10–30% vermiculite by volume to seed-starting soil or a seedling growing medium (e.g. 0.5–1.5 l per 5 l of soil) and mix thoroughly. For rooting cuttings, you can use pure vermiculite or a 1:1 mixture with perlite.
Covering seeds: cover seeds sown in moist growing medium with a thin (2–5 mm) layer of vermiculite. It keeps moisture around the seeds, allows light to reach light-germinating seeds and limits mould growth on the surface.
Watering: after sowing, moisten the surface with a spray bottle and water moderately - vermiculite retains water by itself, so it is easy to overdo it. The growing medium should be moist, not wet.
