Description

◤Introduction◥

Perlite is a volcanic glass that is heated to 871C and expands to 13 times its former. It is revealed as being covered with many tiny cells that absorb moisture on the exterior of the particle, which makes it particularly useful in facilitating moisture to plant roots.

Compare perlite with vermiculite

Both of them aid in water retention, perlite is the more porous and tends to allow water to drain much more readily than vermiculite.  It is more suitable addition to soils utilized with plants that do not require very moist media, or for plants which generally thrive in well-draining soil. If you use soil contains perlite, you might need to monitor watering more frequently.

When gorwing plants in perlite, be aware that it may cause BROWN TIPS on indoorplants due to fluoride burn.

Due to perlite’s large surface area, it is a good choice for plants that require levels of high humidity. Evaporation off its surface area creates higher humidity levels that those of vermiculite.

【Benefits of Perlite】

• Improve aeration and modify the soil substructure, keeping it loose, well-draining, and defying compaction.
•  Good choice for plants that require levels of high humidity. Evaporation off its surface area creates higher humidity levels that those of vermiculite.

【How to use】

• 15-20% mixed with soil to modify the soil substructure, enabling the pot to hold just enough water and oxygen.
• great for root cuttings
