Perlite

Lightweight volcanic mineral that improves soil aeration, root development and drainage — an essential growing amendment.

Perlite is a natural, sterile growing amendment made from expanded volcanic glass. Mixed into potting soil, it creates air pockets that allow roots to breathe and prevents water from pooling around roots. Ideal for succulents, aroids, seedlings and any plant prone to root rot.

Benefits

• Improves soil aeration
• Promotes healthy root development
• Prevents water clogging and root rot
• Sterile and pH neutral

How to use

• Mix 20–30% perlite into standard potting mix for most plants.
• Use 50% for succulents and cacti.
• Add a layer at the bottom of pots for extra drainage.
