Q: What is sterilized vermiculite used for in plant care?
A: Sterilized vermiculite improves soil aeration and moisture retention for plants. It’s pathogen-free, making it safe for seedlings and sensitive plants. It’s commonly used in potting mixes and propagation.
Q: Why choose sterilized vermiculite over regular vermiculite for propagation?
A: Sterilized vermiculite eliminates harmful bacteria and fungi, reducing disease risks. Its lightweight structure supports root development in cuttings. This ensures healthier plant starts compared to non-sterilized versions.
Q: Can sterilized vermiculite be used for seed germination?
A: Yes, it’s ideal for germination due to its sterile, moisture-retentive properties. It prevents damping-off disease in seedlings. Mix it with soil or use it alone for best results.
Q: How does sterilized vermiculite benefit potting soil?
A: It enhances drainage while retaining water and nutrients. Its sterile nature prevents soil-borne pathogens. This creates a balanced environment for root growth and plant health.
Q: Is sterilized vermiculite reusable for multiple plantings?
A: Yes, but it should be re-sterilized between uses to avoid contamination. Bake it at 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes. Avoid reuse if it shows signs of mold or compaction.
