How to use

Begin with clean, well-drained media. For seed starting, blend vermiculite with your potting mix to achieve a balanced moisture-to-air ratio. For cuttings, use a portion of vermiculite in the rooting area to provide consistent moisture while roots explore the medium. In hydroponic or terrarium projects, mix with compatible substrates to build a tailored growing environment. Each bag yields about 5 quarts of vermiculite, making it easy to scale across multiple pots or beds.
