Perlite

Perlite is a lightweight, expanded volcanic mineral designed to improve aeration, drainage, and root health across a wide range of planting systems. Known for its versatility, it works perfectly in gardens, nurseries, and large-scale farms.
Unlike traditional soil amendments, horticultural perlite is sterile, pH neutral, and non-toxic. Its naturally porous structure makes it good for plants by preventing soil compaction and allowing roots to breathe. Whether blended into a perlite mix or used as a perlite medium, this product promotes stronger roots, healthier foliage, and better overall plant growth.
Its uniform particle size and availability in perlite coarse grades make it adaptable for everything from seed starting and potting mixes to hydroponic systems. Easy to handle, lightweight, and long-lasting, it’s an essential tool for growers looking to improve plant performance naturally.

Potting and Garden Mixes

Blend into soil or compost to create a custom garden perlite mix that boosts aeration, enhances drainage, and prevents root rot in houseplants, vegetables, and ornamentals. This approach is perfect for gardeners who want a reliable, long-lasting additive to improve soil texture while maintaining consistent moisture levels.

Seed Starting and Cuttings

Use as a sterile starting material for seed germination or plant propagation. Its lightweight texture supports tender roots and retains just enough moisture for fast, healthy growth. Whether you’re sprouting vegetables, flowers, or herbs, the coarse texture provides the stability and cleanliness needed for successful starts.

Hydroponic and Large-Scale Farming

Ideal as agricultural perlite in commercial farms or greenhouses. It provides a stable, clean substrate for hydroponic systems while maintaining consistent moisture and airflow. By combining this medium with nutrient solutions, growers can achieve higher yields and healthier crops in a controlled environment.

Improving Soil Structure Outdoors

Mix with garden beds or raised planters to increase oxygen at the root zone. This additive improves soil texture, especially in heavy clay, and helps create a balanced environment for plant roots. It’s also effective for lawns or landscaping projects where soil compaction limits plant health, making it an easy upgrade for any outdoor growing space.
