A good potting soil should contain at least 25 percent perlite for proper drainage. Since vermiculite retains far more water and food for the growing plant, but does not provide the superior drainage properties of perlite, you can have an even better soil mixture by adding both bulk perlite and vermiculite to your soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorticultural perlite is a lightweight substitute for sand and is very useful in a hydroponic gardening systems.
