Directions For Use

Refer to instructions on rear of package.

Seed Germination – Mix 50/50 of Vermiculite with peat.

Can be used as a soil improver.  When applied to an outdoor seed bed it will give improved emergence.

Sowing Composts – equal parts of Vermiculite and sphagnum peat moss or add 1 part Vermiculite and 2 parts of ready-mixed seed compost, or all-purpose compost.

Potting Mixes – Vermiculite in potting mixes gives a very light open compost, holding more water and facilitate re-wetting,  thereby lengthening the time between watering.

Vermiculite is NOT recommended for Azaleas, Rhododendrons and other acid loving plants.
