Perlite 1 Liter

Perlite is a lightweight, porous mineral of volcanic origin that has expanded at high temperatures. Its structure gives it unique properties that make it an essential component for improving plant health.

Uses and Benefits

Improves soil aeration: Perlite helps keep the substrate loose, preventing compaction and allowing roots to breathe and develop properly.

Promotes drainage: Its porous structure allows excess water to flow easily, preventing waterlogging that can lead to root rot and fungal growth.

Retains moisture in a controlled manner: Despite its drainage capacity, perlite also retains an adequate amount of water in its pores, releasing it slowly as the plant needs it, which helps reduce the frequency of watering.

Insulates roots: It acts as a natural insulator, protecting roots from extreme temperatures, both from excessive heat in summer and cold in winter.

It's inert: It doesn't alter the soil pH or provide nutrients, making it compatible with any type of plant.

Perlite is a very useful component that can be mixed with other substrates such as peat moss, coconut fiber, or vermiculite to create the ideal mix for your plants.
