Scope of the Report

The global Horticultural Vermiculite market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2026 to 2032.

Horticultural vermiculite is a layered substance formed after raw vermiculite flakes are heated and expanded at high temperature. Horticultural vermiculite loses water rapidly during the heating process, and the volume expands rapidly, and the volume after expansion is equivalent to 8-20 times of the original volume, so that the material increases the ventilation pores and water retention capacity. Horticultural vermiculite is an expanded vermiculite specially used for garden and vegetable seedlings. The main types of horticultural vermiculite are: 1-3mm, 2-4mm, 3-5mm, etc.

There are two general specifications of horticultural vermiculite: 1-3mm horticultural vermiculite for nursery and 2-4mm horticultural vermiculite for flowering.

Precautions

1. Horticultural vermiculite has a bulk density of 130-180 kg/m3, is neutral to alkaline (ph7-9), can absorb 500-650 liters of water per cubic meter of vermiculite, and can release an appropriate amount of water after steam sterilization. Potassium, calcium, magnesium and other elements.

2. As vermiculite for gardening, its main function is to increase the aeration and water retention of the soil (medium). Because of its fragility, with the prolongation of use time, it is easy to make the medium dense and lose its air permeability and water retention, so the coarse vermiculite has a longer use time than fine vermiculite, and the effect is better. Therefore, horticultural vermiculite should choose thicker flake vermiculite, even if it is the sowing medium of small seeds and as the covering for sowing, it is better to use thicker ones.

3. Horticultural vermiculite is one of the main materials of planting medium, which can be mixed with peat, perlite, etc.

4. Horticultural vermiculite can be used as seeding mulch.

5. Properly adjust the pH value of the medium.
