BIOKI - VERMICULITE ANTIKA OFFICINA BOTANICA | 1L

VERMICULITE PREVENTS ROOT GROWTH - Organic water retentive

BioKi Vermiculite is a natural laminar expanded asbestos material produced by an irreversible, high-temperature heat treatment that retains oxygen, nutrients and moisture, releasing them only when needed by the plants.
The product mixed with peat, bark or growing media in the substrate for pot plants and horticulture provides ideal conditions for maintaining healthy and vigorous growth. It is also suitable for distribution on sandy or clay soils, where it retains the air and moisture needed for proper growth and avoids water imbalances. Also suitable for reducing excessively high summer temperatures.

METHODS OF USE

Seeding: 10-15% + sprinkling over the pot container.
Repotting: 10% (1 L for every 10 L of substrate).
Carnivorous plants: 25% (1:3 ratio).
Planting shrubs and trees: Fill the hole where the new plant will be placed with a mixture of universal potting soil (1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 sand and 1/3 humus) to improve root aeration.
Autumn/spring bulb storage: use 50% dry vermiculite with peat.

Also suitable for cut flower containers and mixed bouquets, where it avoids the smell of water.

WHEN USING

• reduces water evaporation
• delays substrate desiccation,
• avoids temperature changes, creating a microclimate favourable to germination,
• facilitates the absorption of water by the seeds and consequent germination.

RAW MATERIALS: Expanded vermiculite obtained by heat treatment of phyllosilicates with magnesium, iron and aluminium, not chemically enriched and free of polluting elements.
