The effect of vermiculite as a medium on plants
Vermiculite is through high temperature baking, has the advantages of good water absorption, heat insulation, moisture, loose, light, this is the advantage after mixing, but also conducive to the rooting and growth of plants.
Lingshou sub - vermiculite is a natural, non-toxic, high temperature expansion of minerals. It is a relatively rare mineral, belonging to silicates. Its crystalline structure is monoclinic, and it looks like mica from its appearance. The colors are brown, yellow, and dark green. After high temperature expansion, it is divided into gold and silver. Vermiculite is produced by hydration of certain granite. It is commonly produced with asbestos. Because vermiculite has the ability to exchange ions, it has a great effect on improving the soil.
Loose soil, good permeability, strong water absorption and small temperature change, are beneficial to the growth of crops and reduce the input of fertilizer. In the newly emerged soilless cultivation technology, it is an essential raw material.
