What Is Vermiculite and Why Is It Essential for Agriculture

Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that expands when heated, forming clean, sponge-like granules capable of holding several times their weight in water and nutrients. This makes it an excellent soil conditioner and hydroponic medium for Kenyan growers.

Unlike sand or clay, vermiculite keeps soil light, airy, and balanced—allowing oxygen to reach roots while maintaining steady moisture levels. It’s completely sterile, pH-neutral, and safe for organic and edible crops
