This mineral is highly porous, allowing it to store about 40% of its weight in moisture, ensuring water supply under adverse conditions. It facilitates root aeration, reducing substrate compaction, without promoting the accumulation of salts or altering the pH over time. It has a characteristic bluish-white color. It is a mineral component ACTIVE , since it has a high cationic exchange capacity similar to clays (phyllosilicates) but without the compaction drawbacks of these. Its use in growing substrate mixtures is very recent. It is never used in a proportion greater than 15% by volume in the final mixture. In the cultivation of cacti and succulents, it is the one with the greatest reserve water due to its open intraparticle micropores. It is also capable of ad absorb volatile organic compounds. In summary, Celtonite: Great pantry of nutrients. ACTIVE mineral substrate. Reserve water available for cacti due to their open micropores. Reversible rehydration.

Vermiculite is a mineral formed by silicates of iron, magnesium and the mica group. It originates mainly from the hydrothermal alteration of biotite. Its color is brown and its laminar structure, containing interlaminar water, can retain water up to 5 times its weight. It has a porosity of 95% that facilitates the aeration of the substrates. It also has a high CEC (Cationic Exchange Capacity), retains nutrients such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, among others, and releases them progressively. It is a light mineral and easy to handle. In summary: Maximum water retention not available. Recommended for seedbeds . Nutrient storehouse.

Diatomaceous Earth is a very porous silica-based compound formed from the fossilized remains of algae called diatoms. To improve aeration, mainly use coarser granulometries, since fine ones can have the opposite effect on the substrate. It is also attributed natural insecticide and nematicide properties. In summary, diatomaceous earth: Low aeration capacity. Biocide. Avoid dispersion of dust. The substance can affect the lungs. This can lead to mild fibrosis.

Arlite or expanded clay is a very light ceramic aggregate manufactured by heating pieces of clay in a rotary kiln at approximately 1200°C. In the lower layer we recommend placing a layer of Arlite, it is an expanded clay that promotes drainage, preventing rotting of the plant due to excess water. When the apices of the roots collide with the Arlite, growth is slowed and the roots bifurcate, making the root network larger throughout the entire substrate , instead of the roots ending up emerging from the bottom of the pot. In addition, it prevents the substrate from being lost through the drainage holes and has a thermal cushioning effect. Prevents rotting of the plant due to excess water. Improves moisture retention. Provides better oxygenation to the roots. inert substrate. Reusable.
