Description
Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral that has been expanded by heat to create a lightweight, porous growing medium. It is widely used in horticulture to improve soil structure by increasing airflow and drainage around plant roots.
When mixed into soil or potting mixes, perlite helps prevent compaction, reduces waterlogging, and promotes healthy root growth. It is ideal for seed starting, cuttings, indoor plants, succulents, and vegetables, as well as for improving heavy or poorly draining soils.
Perlite is sterile, pH-neutral, and does not decompose, making it a long-lasting and reliable soil amendment for both home gardeners and professional growers.
