Essential Soil Additives for Thriving Plants
Our selection includes Agroperlite and Vermiculite, natural materials that boost soil aeration and moisture retention. Agroperlite, a porous volcanic mineral, helps lighten heavy soils, improves water and air flow to roots, and supports faster seed germination and root growth. Vermiculite holds moisture efficiently, protects plants from drying out, and enhances nutrient availability, making it ideal for outdoor gardens, greenhouses, and container plants.
Why Use Soil Conditioners in Your Garden?
- Enhance soil structure for better root health and growth
- Improve moisture retention to reduce frequent watering
- Support quick seed germination and strong seedling development
- Reduce transplant shock and protect plants from temperature fluctuations
- Suitable for a wide range of plants including vegetables, flowers, succulents, berries, and fruit trees
Tips for Effective Use
- Mix perlite with soil or substrate at 10-40% for field and ornamental plants; higher ratios for container and succulent plants.
- Combine vermiculite and perlite up to 30% of the soil mix for balanced moisture and aeration.
- Use vermiculite at a ratio of 1 part vermiculite to 3 parts soil when planting seeds or seedlings.
- Keep soil conditioners dry and store away from direct sunlight to maintain effectiveness.
- In colder climates like Estonia, these additives help protect roots from temperature swings especially during early spring planting.
Whether you are growing vegetables on your allotment or maintaining a vibrant balcony garden, these soil amendments help create optimal conditions for a successful and rewarding gardening season.
