When added to soil, vermiculite and perlite both help lighten up and give your soil an airy quality to it. An airy soil mixture is great for certain plants whose roots prefer air channels to breathe. Perlite is more solid and won't compact as easily over time, vermiculite will compact over time and turn mushy, but it also holds moisture/fertilizer better. Aesthetically, perlite is white in color, vermiculite is brown and blends in with your soil.
I own a lot of different potting mediums because I experiment with custom mixes for my carnivorous plants, and vermiculite is a must for any horticulturalist. I urge you to experiment as well, and enjoy the fun in gardening. Plants are cool! Recommended.
