20QT Organic Vermiculite Granules for Plants and Gardening

This size vermiculite is SO hard [for me] to find. It’s great for holding a bit of moisture when added to a totally gritty mix with no soil or coir added. Plus, it’s also a mineral treated with heat to “puff up” so it retains a bit of l moisture, and your plants get an additional boost from it, as well. However, I don’t advise using if your succulent or cactus mix is heavy with soil or coir. I found this product to be of high quality and equal particulate sizes of pretty close to 1/4”, give or take a minuscule amount. I highly recommend this brand coarse vermiculite.

Hey perfect granule size or potting house plants! Not too dusty, and instantly usable to make custom mixes when you open the box.

I always make my own potting soil . I have been using this coarse organic vermiculite for my blend for about 5 years and my plants have thrived. The quality is outstanding it’s always consistent no odor and helps retain water in the soil.

I really like the vermiculite, and it was exactly what I was looking for in my soil mix. It came mostly intact, although there was a hole in my bag and quite a bit of powder at the bottom of it. One issue that I ran into is the actual quantity I was sent. I'm fairly confident I did not actually receive 10 qt. I planned a soil mix based off of the 10 qt I was supposed to receive, and ran out of vermiculite way too early. Whether the bag never came 10 or full or whether it just got crushed smaller in transit, I'm not really sure. Regardless, it was what I was looking for, just wish I properly got the quantity I ordered.

right size for this planting project. succulents need drainage.

This particular form of vermiculite is grade 4, extremely coarse, which is exactly what I needed. Vermiculite comes in Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4, all based on the general size of the individual pieces. 4 is as coarse as you can get. It is used for horticulture, agriculture, and packaging/cushioning for shipping delicate items and liquids. The size you choose depends on what you're doing with it. For working with household plants, gardening, etc., you'll probably want to go with #2. The entire point of it is to absorb water and release it as the soil around it dries. It also provides bulk and air space in the potting mixture (I prefer the larger grades for that reason).

Perfect price for large volume. I use this for houseplants, and to cover seed trays to prevent moss and mold from growing on top.

Perfect! Exactly as described.
