The difference between perlite and vermiculite
While the materials may seem similar, there are a few important differences. Vermiculite holds more water than perlite while still offering an improved soil texture. Vermiculite grains are also a bit softer than perlite, and don’t turn into powder as easily.

Socially responsible production

At Sybotanica we not only want to make plants happy, but people happy as well. In our production team we exclusively hire people with a distance from the workforce, and help them rehabilitate to the normal working life.


Take Peter for example:

Peter has been with Sybotanica since the 1st hour, and has now been promoted to head of production & a permanent contract! Where he was the first employee, he now manages a team of 3 production workers.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is that Peter achieved all this with only 10% visibility! 🕶️ With a few minor adjustments to his working environment, Peter is able to perform his job 100%.

Peter has now been through two moves and knows all the ins & outs of Sybotanica. He can even feel by the potting soil which variety it is. That's quite a challenge with 16 different mixes!

We are confident that Peter will keep production running smoothly in the coming years too! 💪

Origin of our Vermiculite

We mine our Vermiculite in South Africa, after which it is transported in its unpopped form.

Vermiculite expands upon heating, which happens when it arrives in The Netherlands. The unpopped vermiculite is heated with gas to its final airy & light form.

While the use of gas is not ideal, vermiculite lasts very long unless high pressure is applied.
Because of its longevity, we believe using vermiculite is a conscious choice.
Plus, you don't beat the unmatched quality it offers in keeping plants happy.

Our vermiculite is RHP-certified from the mines right to the production facility. This ensures quality and sustainable production.
