Exfoliation occurs when the mineral is heated sufficiently, and commercial furnaces can routinely produce this effect. Vermiculite forms by the weathering or hydrothermal alteration of biotite or phlogopite.How to use Vermiculite.Use 1/3 to 1/2 vermiculite in your potting soil for containers or when building your raised beds, or improve your garden soil by adding it in the spring with your other soil amendments and compost. For new lawns, spread a 1/4 inch layer evenly around the planted area just after you seed it, then irrigate well.Pour vermiculite from the bag into soil.Spread the vermiculite evenly.Seed, or transfer plants into your container.Cover small seeds.Water your container.Pour out excess water.Improve an existing compost.For over 165 years Sinclair has been at the forefront of horticulture.

Brexit no doubt! You will not get 100l of vermiculite for Β£20 but could get perlite for that! That is better for mixing for root growth but vermiculite is better for retaining water and for a seed cover when sowing in pots. **Q: Is there a risk of asbestos?** A: There was a risk upto the 1980s as Vermiculite used to be mined in areas that could contain Asbestos contaminants. However those contaminated sources of Vermiculite were closed in the 1980s following the discovery of asbestos fibers in vermiculite. Modern forms of vermiculite are unlikely to contain asbestos, due to updated mining and manufacturing techniques plus checks carried out by various health agencies. It thus poses less of a risk since the 1980s especially to those using potting mixtures. However it's advisable to wear a mask and protective glasses when mixing any products which can contain dust particles, such as with Vermiculite, also Perlite too. Be particularly wary of dust in enclosed spaces. ## Frequently Bought Together - 100L VERMICULITE HORTICULTURAL MEDIUM GRADE 2MM - 5MM PLANTING SOIL INSULATION - Swiftair Perlite 100L Bag for Horticultural and Organic Gardening 2-5mm Perlite - Westland Potting Grit, 20kg --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/49588902-100l-vermiculite-horticultural-medium-grade-2mm-5mm-planting-soil-insulation](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/49588902-100l-vermiculite-horticultural-medium-grade-2mm-5mm-planting-soil-insulation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
