Hey everyone im wondering why everyone calls for coco coir and vermiculite substrate instead of coco coir and perlite? The reason im wondering is because no one sells vermiculite around here, i have to order it. But everyone does sell perlite. Is there a specific reason everyone uses vermiculite over perlite?

one holds water one makes humidity, they are nothing alike.
coir doesn't need vermiculite so if u can't find it oh well

Vermiculite holds moisture in a different way than perlite. Perlite has bigger pieces and wouldn’t hold moisture well enough. You’re better off ordering some to get it right, or call around and make sure you have it in your area.
