Composition & profile

The material

A porous mineral material that acts as a moisture reservoir

The expanded particles absorb water and retain available nutrients while helping the mix remain lightweight.

0–5 mm

Clean expanded vermiculite

Expanded mineral vermiculite from South Africa in a 0–5 mm grade. It is typically added at 20–30% for water and nutrient retention.

Material expanded vermiculite: A lightweight, porous mineral that absorbs and gradually releases water and nutrients.
Particle size 0–5 mm: A consistent grade for even distribution in mixes and surface applications.
Ratio 20–30%: The recommended addition by volume for mixes that need more moisture.
Origin South Africa: The mineral is mined and transported before being heat-expanded into its final lightweight form.

More stable moisture

It stores water and releases it gradually, reducing overly rapid drying.

Nutrient retention

It helps keep nutrients available in the root zone instead of washing away quickly.

Lightweight, durable structure

The expanded mineral form lasts for years unless crushed under high pressure.

Application steps

Use & application

Add 20–30% to mixes that need more moisture

Use it for plants that prefer a lightly moist root zone, seed starting and cuttings. Reduce the ratio for plants that need fast drying.

01Assess the moisture needs

Confirm that the plant prefers steadier moisture before increasing the mix's retention.

02Measure 20–30% by volume

Use the same scoop for vermiculite and the other components.

03Blend gently

Distribute the material evenly and avoid firm pressure that crushes the expanded particles.

04Water and reassess

Wet the finished mix and observe how quickly it dries before changing the ratio.

High retention requires the right ratio

Vermiculite can retain much more moisture than perlite. For dry-loving plants or an already moisture-retentive mix, use less or choose more free-draining components.

In the package

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about choosing, using and storing the product.

01What does Vermiculite contain?

Expanded mineral vermiculite from South Africa in a 0–5 mm grade. It is typically added at 20–30% for water and nutrient retention.

02Which plants or uses is it suitable for?

It suits mixes for Alocasia, Calathea, Maranta and other moisture-loving plants, as well as seed starting and cuttings that need steady moisture.

03Does it add nutrients to the mix?

No. Vermiculite is not a fertiliser. It does retain water and available nutrients and releases them gradually to the roots.

04Can it retain too much water?

Yes, if used at a high ratio or in an already moisture-retentive mix. Start with 20–30% only for plants that need more moisture and check drying time.

05What should I consider if I have pets?

The material is not intended for ingestion. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash your hands after use.

06How is it different from perlite?

Vermiculite focuses on retaining water and nutrients. Perlite is used mainly for greater aeration and faster drainage.
