A perfect choice for plants that like to stay moist a little longer. This fine grade is excellent for seedlings!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo let's talk uses! This extremely hydrophilic amendment LOVES to store water. The small, brightly coloured component will expand with moisture in what can only be described as an 'accordion' fashion. It's small movements in a soil blend help with aeration but above all else, this fabulous material maintains moisture for extended periods of time! Slowly releasing water and nutrients back into the soil - even days after it was watered. This makes it absolutely perfect for extra thirsty and moisture reliant roots - like that of Alocasia and Ferns!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVermiculite is an effective seed starting material too! It helps to hold onto nutrients and minerals within it’s structure that fine, freshly grown roots can access and enjoy! With a truly neutral pH of 7-7.5 you have no worries of any extreme swings in the overall pH - of either a soil blend or a stand alone material for small, fragile seedlings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Summary:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFantastic at holding and retaining moisture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWill help to realise moisture and nutrients back into the soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHas a neutral pH of 7-7.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect component for thirsty plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEffective seed starting material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAvailable in 2.5L bags\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e2.5L bag measures: 28cm (height) x 18cm (width)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% peat free\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003e100% recyclable and resealable packaging\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pilea Plant Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40776579579969,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/4042\/1697\/files\/Soil-Ninja-V2-Vermiculite.jpg?v=1707149337","url":"https:\/\/www.pileaplantshop.live\/products\/soil-ninja-vermiculite-2-5l","provider":"Pilea Plant Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
