10 QT Professional Grade Horticultural Organic Vermiculite (10 QT, Vermiculite)

Great product. My plants love it!

I grow most of our veggies in our basement and use a high quality potting soil for all of them. Many of the veggies I grow require evenly moist soil that does not compact and that drains well. This vermiculite is very light weight and does not add to weight of the pot, yet it absorbs enough moisture to keep the soil moist while allowing better drainage of excess water.I have been adding this vermiculite to my potting soil, and it seems to be helping a lot with the plants that need to be kept moist, such as cucumber, string beans and tomatoes. It is easier to keep them moist without overwatering them. This vermiculite also helps to keep the soil looser so that it doesn't compact with watering. For example, carrots are easier to harvest since they are not stuck in the soil. To easily harvest carrots without breaking them, first push them down, and then they easily pull out of the soil.30 quarts of vermiculite goes a long way even with the amount of plants I grow. It comes in a plastic bag in a box. I just leave the opened bag in the box and use as needed. When plants are watered, it does not float to the top as perlite does - it stays in the soil. I noticed that this vermiculite is not quite as fine as vermiculite I have bought in the past, and, considering the quantity of 30 quarts, it is less expensive than others I have found. I like this better since it does a better job of keeping the soil loose and aerated. This vermiculite is more of a gold color rather than the light brown color of others I have bought. I really like this vermiculite and what it does for my plants. I definitely plan to buy more of it.I hope this review was helpful for you.

Great amount of product for price.

Bag came in a box, not anything professional or marked. Seemed a little sketchy. Does do the job for my indoor plants mix though.

This perlite is large. This is definitely larger than the store bought bag. This is perfect in my soiless, chunky mix.

Finally, a high quality perlite that’s consistently large sized. This is the ultimate ingredient for your chunky Aroid potting mix.

These are regular perlite granules as advertised, I have been mixing them into the potting mix for my orchids, but just note that the granules are on the small side.

I will be ordering more in the future! I wasn’t able to find any anywhere until I stumbled upon this and I love it!
