VERMICULITE

Soil improvement

Vermiculite is a hydro-biotic mineral formed from mica flakes. By vaporizing the water contained in its sheets, the heat allows it to burst into multiple lamellae separated by air.

​

The sheets thus formed constitute an accordion shape and have, among other things, a great capacity for absorbing mineral elements.

​

Our vermiculite is of excellent quality and contains no trace of asbestos.

PLANTATIONS COMPATIBLES

FLORAL SPECIES

​

All flowers.

​

In surfacing:

  • optimal lighting, insulation and humidity

  • avoids asphyxiation and crushing

 

Mixed (20 to 50%)

  • water and nutrients more available to plants

  • inert, ideal space for young shoots

VEGETABLE SPECIES

​

All vegetable, fruit and aromatic plants, from plant to harvest as a soil improvement mixed with the substrate or as a surfacing.

​

In surfacing:

  • optimal lighting, insulation and humidity

  • avoids asphyxiation and crushing

 

Mixed (20 to 50%)

  • water and nutrients more available to plants

COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES VERSUS OTHER GROWING SUBSTRATES

RETURNS AND SAVINGS

​

Guarantees a constant and optimal hygrometric level for the development of the plant. Allows water savings, reduces the frequency of watering and allows particularly easy rehydration.

​

Lightens the substrate

​

Aerates the substrate

​

Humidity control

​

Avoids the suffocation of plants and promotes oxygen uptake.

​

Insulating power, allows both to maintain a constant and optimal temperature, to retain humidity uniformly and to promote the circulation of oxygen without capturing it (inert substrate).

​

​

Completely sterile (no risk of infection by fungus, bacteria or insects) due to the substrate.

​

EASE OF USE

​

Wide areas of application, very high flexibility.

​

Lighter than other substrates, easier handling

​

Ready to use instantly.

​

Mechanical stability, avoids settling due to watering and time.

​

Made to order: great flexibility of orders.
