Perilite and any Walmart, Lowes garden section. I had to order a large bag of vermiculite online. But the size I order fills about 20 incubators.

Some brands of perlite (miracle grow makes one) have fertilizer in them. Make sure you get a bag that is 100% perlite with NO other additives.

The best place to purchase both vermiculite and perlite is a nursery. The folks there will know the contents of the products they sell and you can be certain there are no harmful additives.

Especially some of the Vermiculite. Mix it slowly and in a well ventilated area, preferably out doors. Take care.

Best Wishes,
