I tried something different with one of my plants, instead of having 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 verm. It has about 7/10 of perlite, 1/10 worm cast, 1/10 verm, 1/10 peat moss. And the plant in the mostly perlite mix is growing outstanding. Not too much faster, but noticably faster, and very dark and healthy looking. Maybe this is because peat messes with the ph a little and perlite just hold the adjusted water? IDK, but I will sure be using more perlite in my mixtures in the future, for more tests.
Plants will always grow better in a well draining soil then one that holds lots of water.
