Compared with coconut bran, vermiculite, rock wool, peat, and sand, it has the following characteristics:
(1) Good water and fertilizer retention performance:
The internal pores of the ceramsite are filled with air when there is no moisture. When there is sufficient moisture, some water can be inhaled, and some gas can still be maintained. When the moisture around the root system is insufficient, the moisture in the ceramsite diffuses into the pores between the ceramsite through its surface, for the root system to absorb and maintain the air humidity around the root system.
(2) Moderate fertilizer retention capacity: Like water, ceramsite can also store nutrients and release it to the root system.
(3) Stable chemical properties, no pollution: the ceramsite itself has no peculiar smell, no harmful substances, no breeding of diseases and insect pests, especially suitable for indoor decoration.
(4)Beautiful shape, light weight, and easy to carry.
(5) It can be reused to reduce waste. Before putting on the basin, the ceramsite can be cleaned and classified for later use.
