Josh’s Frogs Vermiculite
Josh’s Frogs Vermiculite is an old standby of experienced reptile breeders. Vermiculite is considered by many to be the ultimate incubation media for many species of reptiles. Reptile eggs need moisture and a clean environment to hatch. Vermiculite accomplishes both by retaining water and slowly releasing it throughout incubation, and by having a neutral pH that discourages unwanted natural growths. Easy to use and inexpensive, Josh’s Frogs vermiculite allows you to properly incubate and hatch healthy, robust offspring.

container gardeningseed germinationrooting cuttingsflower bulb overwintering
When mixed with the soil, it provides better drainage and aeration. It is also used as a permanent soil conditioner and lasts much longer than other common soil conditioners.
Feeder Cricket Bedding
For those who keep a colony of feeder crickets, vermiculite is the safest and most beneficial bedding. Unlike potting soil, it won’t have fertilizers.
As well, vermiculite will control odors and help maintain humidity.
Grow Mushrooms
By itself, Vermiculite has an neutral pH and is therefore not suitable as a sole substrate for growing mushrooms which need slightly acidic pH substrate. However, it can be combined with other materials to achieve the proper balance.
