What is flower vermiculite? Is vermiculite suitable for leaf insertion?

Anyone who knows how to grow flowers knows that not only clay, but also sand, humus, vermiculite and other media should be used to increase the water permeability and air permeability of soil. Vermiculite is a very common kind, so what kind of stone does it belong to?

What kind of stone is vermiculite used to grow flowers? Vermiculite is a pure natural ore, non-toxic and pollution-free. It is a relatively rare ore and belongs to silicate minerals. The structure of this mineral is monoclinic crystal, which looks like mica.

Vermiculite plays a great role in regulating soil nutrients. Vermiculite expands when heated at high temperature. As long as the humidity is high, it will continue to expand and peel off layer by layer. Before a piece of ore is stripped, very thin fragments are stripped off. This is the finished product used by people.

Vermiculite itself only contains some mineral elements, but not nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so it is only suitable for seed seedling and cutting seedling, which can improve the viscosity of cohesive soil. General crops and plants are not recommended to be used in large quantities during the growing period.

Is vermiculite suitable for cutting leaves? Vermiculite can keep the humidity of planting environment, make seeds germinate better and promote rooting. When planting leaves, appropriate amount of vermiculite can be added, which has strong water retention and air permeability.

Vermiculite is a mineral-rich water and substance, which has a good adsorption effect on water, can also properly preserve fertilizer, and is helpful to improve soil. Moreover, it is very loose and breathable, which has a good effect on promoting the slow release of plants and the growth of roots, and is also used to improve soil granular soil.

Vermiculite soil is divided into many specifications, and fine vermiculite is generally used for planting leaves. Coarse vermiculite can be used with soil. It is best to insert vermiculite leaves with peat, because vermiculite is too absorbent and easy to accumulate water. Mix it with peat and other particles to ensure faster drainage. Otherwise, it's easy to die through the summer.

How did vermiculite come from? When heated at high temperature, this mineral will expand under the action of high temperature. As long as there is high humidity, it will keep expanding, peeling off layer by layer, and peeling off thin fragments layer by layer until pieces of ore are peeled off. This is the finished product used by people.

After roasting at high temperature, the volume of this ore can rapidly expand to six to twenty times, and the specific gravity after expansion is 60 to 180 kg per cubic meter.

When baked at high temperature, it is like a very dry slime. After repeated exposure to rain and sunshine, it will eventually weather into a pile of very small particles. This is a fact. This kind of ore peels off layer by layer when it is heated at high temperature, because it will expand continuously, so the action of expansion and peeling is very similar to leech crawling. So people call this kind of stone "vermiculite". ?
