Benefits of adding zeoliar to the substrate
Zeoliar are capable of ion and cation exchange, and therefore, when added to the composition of the soil for flowers, they contribute to the preservation of Mg2 +, Ca2 +, K + cations for 2-3 years.
Zeoliar contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, silicon in the form available to the plant.
Zeoliar granules, mixed with the soil, increase its porosity, prevent particles from sticking together (soil cementing), and, therefore, increase oxygen access to the roots. Due to the high drainage of the soil, better root formation is ensured.
Zeoliar in the composition of soil mixtures for cacti and succulents allows the structure of the soil to be as close as possible to the requirements of these plants.
It regulates the moisture content of the soil, reduces the frequency of watering and prevents overdrying (to a certain extent).
The acidity of zeoliar is optimal for plants, pH 5.5-5.6.
Remarkable distinguishing feature
Of course, we used to do with other loosening agents, such as: coarse sand, fine gravel, fine expanded clay, broken red brick, agroperlite and vermiculite. But zeolite has advantages against them :
river sand is too fine, particles less than 2 mm cement the soil, reduce root respiration, i.e. you need to sift it, select larger particles – in fact, small pebbles, 3-5 mm in size.
vermiculite is more moisture-absorbing, since it is very heterogeneous – there is a lot of dust, medium and large particles in one package, substrates based on it dry out longer, it is more expedient to use it only for sowing and picking seedlings, perlite and even worse – it is washed out over time to the soil surface
broken brick is good, but requires preparation: chop, sift, and as a result, a lot of waste in the form of dust
fine gravel is difficult and time consuming to collect and is heavier
zeolite in fillers of the size we need, it remains only to rinse it – the least fuss
