Vermiculite/ Perlite 50/50 1KG (w)

Vermiculite vs Perlite is not unusual to become confused between perlite and vermiculite when you go to the garden center or online to buy them. While they are both used as growing media, they have different roles to play. One (vermiculite) holds water well, and the other (perlite) does not, but is good at creating drainage and aerating the soil.

When it comes to horticultural uses, telling them apart is easy, because they look so completely different. Vermiculite is brown with a soft and spongy texture. Whereas Perlite is sold as tiny hard white balls, similar in appearance to tiny Styrofoam balls used for packaging.
