Thank you so much for clearing up the difference for us. I love learning from Garden Answer.

I have learned more from you in one year than every other source I have gone to in the last 10 years. I can see a huge difference with my plants and you are the one to thank for that!!

I'm glad you talked about this. I never knew the difference. I like that, if you know you tend to teach others. I'm impressed.

The last time I went looking for vermiculite the person at the garden center didn't know what I was talking about and told me it didn't exist 😂 dude needs a new job

I have recently taken my passion for plants and succulents to a serious this is what i want to do with my life level and being a new comer to a larger spectrum of horticulture i am loving your videos i watch all of your videos and just love the depth you go into when talking about care, treatment, and all things plant related my knowledge has grown so much just from watching your videos. I find myself watching a video of yours and then wanting to go out into my yard and DIY a project or make room for some new plants. I just wanted to take the time to tell you how much i appreciate the time you put into your videos and that someone is benefiting from all of your knowledge :) please never loose your passion and drive!

Another informative video, thanks so much. Would you consider doing a video on the use of Espoma products such as blood meal, bone meal, lime, and the various "tones" that are added to different plants? Thanks for thinking about it.

Thank you so much for explaining the difference between the two. For awhile I didn't even think there was a difference. So thx for clearing that up. Because of you I've learned a lot, thank you again. 🙂

Thank you! You have answered a question I've had for years. Have a good day.

I use straight vermiculite to start cuttings. When I first started doing it I was told by another grower that it would be too wet and that it wouldn't work, but I have had great success in the last 7 years doing this. I have used both the fine and the medium or large and both work equally well, but I started buying more of the fine, because it has more uses across the board, like for seed starting. Thanks for the video, I had always been confused as well.

Clear and to the point. Thanks, you have solved several different problems for me.

Sunny and a little warmer today so time to get out and cleanup gardens. Excited thanks to Laura!

It always a pleasure to watch a video where the speaker has the right information and explains it well. Thank you!

Thank you Laura! I was always confused about the difference!

Ur video editing is so nice, I love the item pan overs and zoom shots...it’s so much nicer than just watching someone talk, same shot for 10 minutes

Beautiful vid...editing, fluency, content not to mention how charismatic you are!

Oh I'm so glad you covered this subject. I didn't know the difference or when to use the other one. So great. See you in the next one!

Thank you for the video and the information!! Always good to process info while I have coffee with Laura!!!

My grandpa was a horticulturist. Thank you. You sound like him. Apreciate your help starting my own first garden.

I start my seeds the same way now! Works like a charm! Thanks for the great info, Laura!

You are the best teacher 👩🏻‍🏫 👍🏼 I love all of your videos. ❤️

I love both for growing orchids... and how you distinguished the characteristics of each was,awesome. Thank you 👍🏼

What a great video! Now I know the difference and how to use each one. Thank you Laura.

Thanks for the info, I'm checking on my seedlings a couple times a day. This is definitely a game changer. 👍

Thank you so much for this information, It is so much clearer. You did a fantastic job of explaining.

Oh my gosh, it really seems like I'm plugged in to needing to know so many tips and Answers to garden questions And they seem to appear like magic in all your videos! Just when I need them! I'm a great big fan of Garden Answers and your presenting of Proven Winners brand. I Depend on the beauty and quality of PW, I know that they will perform exceptionally every time! So many people rely on Garden Answers and Laura, Aaron and sweet Benjamin are simply top notch folks! And Mom too 😊. Thank You All Very Much!! 💝🌷🌿

Love your channel! First time homeowner and I'm indebted to you on how much I've learned in the last 6 months. Now I know what to use for my ferns and succulents. Thank you so much!

Your video came just in time. I am repotting some Cala Lillies and doing some seeds. Thanks!!

Thank you so much !! Love your info videos.... Love ALL your videos. I’ll be watching for more veggie garden info. My husband is not feeling so well so I am taking over for him. We are doing some raised beds this year so we can control the weeds and grass better. Happy Sunday from Ocean Shores WA.

Really like your style and your presentation. Honest & what’s GREAT, you got to the point immediately. So many... too, too many, KZfaq gardeners spend the 1st 4-5 minutes w silly intros & stories unrelated to the topic. This was excellent. Now we know the difference between Vermiculite & Pearlite. 🙏 Thanks a bunch.

You always have perfect timing. I just bought both of these to use but didn't know much about them so you just answered my questions LOL Thanks.

Great info to know. Thanks for the examples of what to use for each need. That helps as much as knowing the differences. You are the best at explaining all things garden related. 👩‍🌾🌷🦜💕

I planted my first few pots by watching your videos, I even planted a hanging basket with my son and he enjoys it.. thank you because I'm learning a lot about different types of plants and flowers and now my front porch is looking radiant!!!

Thank you! I always wondered that as well. My seed starting has been disappointing, so I will definitely try the vermiculite.

OMG! thank you so much for this video, I am going to start some seeds and not having to worry about them as much and their roots being able to form makes me so relieved. I use Perlite in my potting mix and love how it works, and have heard about Vermiculite, but wasn't aware how to use it correctly. Thank you again, see you in the next video, bye for now.

Boy, your videos are spot on with timing. I am on my way to purchase some soil amendments and was wondering if I should get perlite or vermiculite for my large pots. Thanks so much for the info!

Understood that perfectly...I'm definitely repotting my Lilly's and ferns with vermiculite and on top of my seed starts! Thanks for the awesome tips👍🏼🤗

I really enjoy your videos, you give such good information. Thank you!

Ah, marvellous information! Thank you!

Thank you so much for talking about this video in your seed starting video today. I’ve always been confused about these! You have taught me so much!!

Really answers or clears many questions. Thank you.

Thank you so very much for this video. This video helped me understand the difference between the two. All these years I never fulling understood the difference. Read the packages & both sounded like they did the same thing. But when you explained it on this video, it's a bit different. Thanks again, much appreciate it!🌺

Thank you Thank you for teaching about the differences in products and what they are for. I for one don't know what the heck most of the products are for when I walk by them. I truly appreciate anything that helps me obtain the longest possible life of my own gardening. Maybe you could have the person that told you about storing bulbs be a guest? I love your willingness to learn even though your super knowledgeable. That's an amazing trait.

Literally, you’re a garden wizard. 🧙🏻‍♀️🌱

This video is so great! Please make more educational videos like this! Thank you.

Thanks for the info ! Left me more confident!😀😀

Very, very informative. Wow, thanks for making planting easier.

YOU ARE THE BEST PLANT KZfaqR OF THE ENTIRE WORLD! THANK YOU SO MUCH! LIVE YOU! I WISH YOU THE BEST! HUGS FROM BRAZIL!

I'm glad to know the difference. I always use both. 🌵👍🏻

This was an awesome video! I did not know the difference between the two and had wondered. Many of the directions for propagation by cutting say to use vermiculite and I had always thought that vermiculite and perlite were the same thing. Now I know why so few of my cuttings make it, the perlite just doesn’t hold water enough for them to thrive.

I like these types of videos! Thanks!

So grateful for this explanation! Sometimes it’s hard to suss out the differences between soil additives. Personally I would appreciate follow ups with other things commonly used to amend soils and how/why you’d use. So perhaps touching on pumice, clays, bonsai mix, diatomaceous absorbent chips (floor-dry), chicken grit, gel crystals, coconut coir, peat, and so on. Perhaps even sharing some of your fave soil mixes or recipes. Thanks so much!

Another super I formative video. Thanks Laura!

You are a wonderful lecturer, thank you I will remember to subscribe. I have learned a lot from you and I have worked at Nurseries, as a gardener, landscape architect and also at Botanical gardens. Everyday you learn new things in terms of gardening.

Thank you for this video! You have a new follower from France 😊 i love the way you teach

Excellent timing, i was just reading something the other day that led me to this very question. Thanks for the great explanation!! All the best!

Thank you SO much. I have struggled with knowing what the difference between these two were as well. Im terrible about over watering my house plants & often add peralite. But I wasn't sure it i should be trying the other. Now i know for sure not to with most of my house plants. I just recently learned what dampening off was & I had had it happen many times. Now I know. I'm going to get myself some vermiculite! I'd like to hear about how pumice fits in as the other person mentioned.

I had no idea. Thanks! I have knowledge and hope for this season now 🙂

now i know, it will help explain this to our customer in the store. thanks

Hi Laura, thank you for explaining the difference between the two. I also thought they did the same thing. So confusing!

Thanks for clearing that up!

I always learn so much from your videos. You are the BEST!!!

Thanks so much Laura for explaining the difference.👌🏻

Great explanation, thank you for sharing!

Good to know!! Never knew the difference either.. Thank you!

Very informative video ... thanks Laura 👍🏼💜🕊

SO informative. Thanks for a great tutorial..

thankyou soo much laura.that was really informative.

Thank you Laura, this is super helpful!!

Thank you Laura, I knew about moisture retention but no details. I wish I had seen this before I seeded. I have to see if I have vermiculite. Thanks again, great info! 🌱💜🌱

Very well explained, thank you!

Thank you I have always wondered this same thing!

You are chalked full of useful information! Thank You so much!

Thanks for sharing that great information, now I know when to use them. Xx

Many thanks for sharing your knowledge.🙏

Thankyou so much for clearing up my confusion x

I DID wonder! Thank you for the very informative answer.

Extremely informative video, thank you so much! I've always thought, that they are the same, but clearly it's not the case. Now I'll start using them properly and I hope I would get better results 🙂

Could you please do a tutorial on peace lilies and ferns? I would like to know the correct way to repot them and the proper soil mixture to put them in in the pots. Thanks

Best explanation I've ever had, thank you

This was super helpful!!

My favourite yet! Well done!

Finally! I get the answer. Thank you so much.

Very helpful video!!

I really really love your videos!!! They are direct, to the point and very specific! Is there any way you could do a SAGO PALM video?? Thank you!!!

Thanks so much for explqining thr differences between vermiculite and perlite. I have been using perlite 50/50 with potting soil for my succulents with great success. However, I hate that the perlite floats to the top😕. I have recently switched ovednto potting soil, pumice, turface, chicken grit, and horticultural charcoal. I get great drainage however believe I will need to water more frequently. I will have to see how this works out for me but at leas the floating perlite is not a factor. Thanks for sharing😊👍❤.

Awesome advice as usual! Thanks so much!!!❤

Great information and clear explanation.

Thanks. Very useful information!

Awesome tips, thanks for sharing. I am a forager and want to get busy with micro farming this year; this certainly helps. :)

One note on dampening off...besides bottom watering u can also spray soil surface wi5 a light mix of water and chamomile tea...it has antifungal properties...

Thank you for explaining this to me! 🙏🌷😁

very useful information. solved my question

Thanks so much for this info! I feel well informed 😊❤️

I have been discouraged with damping off of my seedlings. I will give it another go with the use of vermiculite dressing the soil on my seedling trays. Thanks.

I had no idea!

Great info Laura! 🙌🏼

Wow. I didn't know a lot of this info tyvm for sharing.

Thank you this was very useful!!!! I want to repot my peace lily and some of my ferns, so I might add some vermiculite. Any soil mix suggestions are welcome!! Have a great day!!

This is something I have always wondered but could never remember (or could be bothered) to look up, but thank you! now I know. life changed lol x

Thank you for sharing this interesting information. The succulent arrangement looks great. From the garden city of India to you, have a fantastic-week! Cheers.
