a store or website would help.also what is a good price for it?
All of my plants have vermiculite and perlite as part of the soil mix. They help lighten the mix and contribute to moisture retention. Rooting cuttings in vermiculite helps them to develop roots which are accustomed to resistance they would get from soil. That's one of the reasons plants do not do very well when they have been rooted in water and then planted in soil. The tender new roots get destroyed in the process of potting. The Muse
Anything you start in water seems to do better in vermiculite-- I use it for african violet cuttings and other cuttings as it seems to encourage more natural root growth. Vermiculite is also used in soilless gardening, where you grow plants in tanks or pipes, and regularly run water with nutrients through it.
