mixed with other components creates an excellent potting mix for your plants.

Vermiculite added to your potting mix will increase water and nutrient retention and aerates the soil. Has similar benefits to perlite but provides much better water retention which will improve plants’ health.

Vermiculite VS Perlite 

Vermiculite is a silicate material and works as a sponge as a result has the ability to hold water for a longer period of time. Use it if your plants like moist soil, vermiculite will hold water until the soil dries out and then release it. It would be perfect for propagation as stay moist for a very long time. 

Perlite is a hard volcanic rock which will improve drainage. Use perlite if the plant’s soil should dry out between watering or if you would like to create a loose potting mix. Perlite can be also used for propagation alone or mixed with sphagnum moss.
