Vermiculite is used for moisture and nutrient retention, while perlite is commonly used to improve drainage and aeration. These roles help explain the ingredients; they do not make either material a universal choice for every plant. See UNH Extension's comparison of potting-mix components.
Choose for the intended use
Review the plant's needs and the complete mix before deciding how much to use. Container mixes vary with the plants they support, as explained by Illinois Extension. Follow a suitable plant-specific recipe and the supplier's product and handling instructions; this guide does not prescribe a fixed percentage.
