Perlite

Improves drainage and aeration in soil. Ideal for seedlings, cuttings, and keeping roots strong and healthy.

Perlite is a natural volcanic mineral that’s heated until it expands, creating lightweight, white granules that are perfect for soil conditioning. It doesn’t decompose or compact over time, making it a long-lasting improvement for soil mixes.

​

By improving aeration and drainage, perlite keeps soil light and well-structured, preventing root rot and compaction. It also helps retain just enough moisture while allowing excess water to drain away, making it especially effective for seedlings, cuttings, and potted plants.

​

Perlite is best used in potting mixes, seed trays, and container gardening where healthy root growth and consistent aeration are essential. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners looking to keep their soil light, fluffy, and full of oxygen.
