Ok, i just bought a 10 litre bag of perlite, and a 10 litre bag of vermiculite from wilko, i already repotted a ping, without rising or anything, but i was just wondering, how often do you have to repot when using vermiculite, do you have to have peat in the mix, and how longdoes it taek for vermiculite to break down?
