Description

Perlite is a lightweight hard aerated white mineral formed from volcanic glass. It is commonly used in potting mixes to enhance drainage provide aeration to plant roots and retain oxygen moisture and nutrients from soluble fertilizers. It is ideal for creating custom potting mixes or raised bed mixes in bulk. By adding compost soil and other components you can formulate a specialty blend particularly suited for plants that thrive in well-aerated and well-drained conditions such as cacti succulents and orchids. The angular properties of coarse perlite make it especially effective for producing free-draining potting mixes.

In seed raising mixtures perlite promotes faster germination and enhances seedling growth. Seedlings can be easily removed from perlite with minimal root damage allowing for smooth transplantation with little disturbance.
