Description
Perlite is used in soil mixes (including soilless medium). Adding perlite to your soil mix provides you with two primary advantages – drainage and aeration. With more air around the roots of your plants, they grow faster and yield more during harvest. It is suitable for growing plants without any soil and is non-toxic, clean, disease free, extremely lightweight, and easy to work with. Also, check out our workshops for more details.
MADE OF
Perlite is made from a mined volcanic glass of the same name. As a raw material, it contains water, trapped by the rapid cooling of lava. The moisture vaporizes explosively when heat is applied.
BENEFITS
Perlite's expanded nature makes it extremely porous, so it can absorb water, but it also improves drainage, so is ideal to mix into compost to ensure water drains freely. Perlite is particularly useful in plant propagation, including taking cuttings and sowing seeds.
