Vermiculite

Vermiculite is similar to perlite in that it’s made from naturally occurring minerals that expand upon heating. It offers the same aeration properties as perlite but better retains moisture and nutrients for longer lasting root hydration between waterings. Ideal for seed germinated and is often mixed with a seed compost for best results.

We always do our best to help you choose the right plant. If you aren't sure about which to choose, please contact us! We will listen to your needs and make helpful suggestions that should guide you to the plant that is perfect for your situation or build, first time.

We are also very careful about the products we offer. We carefully handpick every single product in our shop to ensure it meets our requirements of quality, effectiveness and reliability.

In short, we go a long way to make sure that when you buy from Grow Tropicals you won’t be disappointed.
