Back to glossary

Granular quartz, a porous white mineral substrate that can replace sand. When thermally treated, perlite and vermiculite produce a lightweight, expanded material. Incorporating these components into the soil significantly improves its physical and water-related properties, and consequently the nutrition and growth of plants. It is only necessary to pay attention to the increased alkaline reaction…
