Soil Amending or Soil Conditioning---Where native soil are heavy or sticky, mixing of vermiculite will create air channels and allow the soil mix to breathe. Mixing vermiculite in flower and vegetable gardens or in potted plants will provide the necessary air to maintain vigorous plant growth; and when soils are sandy, the use of vermiculite will help the soil hold the water and air needed for growth. Seed Germination---Use vermiculite alone or mixed with soil or peat, more seeds will germinate, but they will germinate faster.
