What does Perlite do? - Perlite are the white pieces you see in most retail potting mixes. Perlite, an all natural volcanic glass that is popped like popcorn under high heat.

What does Vermiculite do? - Vermiculite is an all natural silicate mineral closely related to mica. Vermiculite is used widely in horticulture for its moisture and nutrition retention ability, allowing for the absorption and slow release of both.
