FAQ About Indoor Plant Soil Additives

What is the difference between perlite and vermiculite?

Perlite and vermiculite are both used to improve aeration and moisture retention in soil, but they differ in their properties. Perlite is a volcanic rock that provides better aeration and faster drainage, while vermiculite retains more moisture, making it suitable for plants that need constant moisture. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the specific plant requirements.
