Perlite increases drainage and promotes healthy root development, resulting in healthier and more productive plants.

How is perlite used?

We use perlite in almost every potting soil. A good rule of thumb is to aim for around 30% perlite in a soil mix, although it obviously depends entirely on the type of plant you are planting.

What is Perlite good for?

Perlite is used for plants primarily to improve soil structure.

For example, you can mix perlite with sphagnum moss, coconut soil or your regular potting soil. If you are unsure about mixing the correct amount for your expensive plant, we recommend that you start with our ready-made soil mix . Buy Perlite online!
