Perlite is the lightweight growing essential that gives plant roots room to breathe. This premium coarse 3–6mm grade helps improve aeration & drainage in potting mixes, indoor/outdoor containers & garden beds. It can also be used as a growing medium in suitable hydroponic systems & propagation. Happy roots, happier plants!
Volcanic popcorn? Pretty much! Perlite starts life as volcanic glass, is heated to extreme high temperatures until it expands & pops into lightweight, porous particles. Think popcorn, but for your plants.
How Does It Work?
Here's the clever bit. Perlite creates air pockets in your growing medium, helping roots access oxygen while excess water drains away. It also holds some moisture and helps keep water and dissolved nutrients available within the growing mix.
Retain a little, drain a little — turns out plants like balance too!
Why Growers Love It
- Better Aeration: Allows more airflow around roots.
- Improved Drainage: Helps prevent waterlogged growing media.
- Moisture Management: Holds moisture while excess water drains.
- Versatile Use: Potting mixes (for containers, garden beds) propagation & suitable hydroponic systems.
How to Use It
Potting Mix: Start with 80% potting mix & 20% perlite, adjusting to suit your plants and watering routine.
Hydroponic / Propagation: Use as a standalone medium.
