Horticultural Perlite

Perlite is a lightweight, sterile and easy to use growing medium derived from naturally occurring volcanic rock.

Perlite is used by both plant collectors and enthusiasts and home gardeners. Perlite is an amazing resource that has numerous benefits the key ones being:

1. Boosting soil aeration:  Perlite's irregular and unique shape helps to allow air to circulate freely around even the tiniest of roots and increases the space between soil particles. It helps to also improve aeration and to encourage healthier root systems and optimum plant growth.
2. Retains moisture: The water-holding properties of Perlite ensure that your plants have access to the moisture and nutrients they need for optimal growth.
3. Ideal for propagation: Being an excellent component for soilless growing mediums, perlite maintains the perfect water/air ratio that fosters superior plant growth and successful propagation. 
4. Long-lasting and Non-Toxic: Made from natural volcanic rock, perlite is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and will not rot or dissolve over time.
5. Neutral pH and Sterile: Perlite has a neutral pH and sterile composition, ensuring it's free from diseases and weeds.
