New heat-expanded minerals of high water-holding capacity—good aids in plant propagation

California Agriculture, 1947
Recently two relatively inert mineral substances have been tested which appear to have numerous uses in plant growing, especially in operations connected with plant propagation. These are heat-expanded vermiculite and perlite.
