    1. Hi Preeti, thank you so much!
      THe white granules are vermiculite:
      "Vermiculite is an organic, asbestos-free soil amendment that can be used to improve moisture retention and aeration in potting mixes. It helps support root structure and stimulates root growth.

      Use to improve moisture retention and aeration in potting mixes
