Dutch Treat Vermiculite lightens heavy soils and holds moisture in sandy soils. This product is also an excellent as a rooting medium, for rooting cuttings, starting seeds. Vermiculite added to the garden or in potting soil increases water and nutrient retention, and aerates the soil, resulting in healthier, more robust plants. Vermiculite, although less aerating than perlite, is the amendment of choice for water-loving plants.
