Description

Key Features:

Excellent Drainage: Enhances drainage in soil and potting mixes by preventing waterlogging and improving air flow to plant roots.
Lightweight & Porous: The lightweight structure of perlite helps create air pockets in the soil, encouraging better root aeration and preventing soil compaction.
Moisture Retention: Although it improves drainage, perlite also retains some moisture, ensuring that plants have access to water without being waterlogged.
pH Neutral: Perlite is pH-neutral, so it won’t affect soil acidity or alkalinity, making it suitable for a wide variety of plants.
Sterile & Inert: Perlite is sterile and free from pests, diseases, and weeds, providing a clean, safe growing medium for plants.
Organic & Sustainable: Naturally derived and environmentally friendly, making it ideal for use in organic gardening.
Applications:

Gardening & Landscaping: Mixed into garden soil or used as a top dressing to improve aeration and drainage in flower beds, vegetable gardens, and lawns.
Potting Mixes: Commonly used in potting mixes for container plants, houseplants, and succulents to promote root health and prevent overwatering.
Seed Starting: Ideal for seed germination and cuttings, providing a light, airy medium that encourages root growth and prevents damping off.
Hydroponics: Often used in hydroponic systems as a growing medium due to its excellent water retention and drainage properties.
Soil Conditioning: Perfect for loosening heavy clay soils and improving drainage in garden beds.
How to Use:

For Potting Mixes: Mix 20-30% perlite into your potting soil to improve drainage and aeration. For cacti and succulents, increase the ratio to 50% perlite.
For Garden Beds: Spread a layer of perlite over the soil surface and work it into the top few inches to improve soil texture and prevent compaction.
For Seed Germination: Mix perlite with a small amount of peat moss or cocopeat for a light, moisture-retentive seed-starting mix.
