Description

Perlite – 5 lt

Perlite is a volcanic glass that is heated to 1,600 degrees F. (871 C.) whereupon it pops much like popcorn and expands to 13 times its former size.
Perlite is used in soil mixes (including soilless mediums) to improve aeration and modify the soil substructure, keeping it loose, well-draining, and defying compaction.
Used with vermiculite in a 1:1 mixture as a growing medium for cuttings.  It retains a lot of moisture while at the same time allowing good drainage and aeration which help with the development of new and healthy roots.
