VERMICULITE 2–4MM – HYDROPONIC GROWING MEDIUM

Premium Vermiculite for Seed Starting, Hydroponics & Plant Propagation 🌱

VERMICULITE 2–4MM is a versatile natural mineral widely used in hydroponic gardening, seed germination, plant propagation, and soil improvement. The 2–4mm particle size provides an excellent balance of water retention, aeration, and nutrient holding capacity, supporting healthy root development across a wide range of plants.

Sourced from high-quality mineral deposits, this premium-grade vermiculite is free from unwanted materials and has a natural pH range of 6.5–7, making it suitable for use with many plants in hydroponic and soil-based growing systems.

Whether used as a standalone hydroponic growing medium, for seed starting, or mixed into soil blends, VERMICULITE 2–4MM helps improve moisture retention, maintain oxygen around roots, and promote strong plant growth.
