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.
