Vermiculite is the standard among professional nurserymen for most horticultural uses including the insertion of cuttings. Vermiculite may be used directly as poured from the bag for root cuttings. Water thoroughly  and insert cuttings. Over wetting  is not a serious concern if container drainage is provided. Vermiculite will promote maximum root growth in less time.

SOIL CONDITIONING

Where the native soil is heavy or sticky, gentle mixing of vermiculite up to one-half the volume of the soil is recommended. This creates air channels  and allows 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. Where soils are sandy, mixing of vermiculite into the soil will allow the soil to hold water and air needed for growth.
