What is Perlite?
Perlite is a naturally occurring, volcanic mineral that is expanded by heating. It’s commonly used in horticulture as a soil amendment, improving aeration and drainage in potting mixes. Perlite is lightweight, sterile, and offers an ideal structure for enhancing plant root growth. It helps to retain moisture without causing waterlogging, making it perfect for indoor and outdoor plants.
- Benefits: Promotes excellent aeration, ensures proper drainage, and prevents soil compaction.
- Versatile Use: Ideal for use in growing media for a variety of plants, from houseplants to larger garden crops.
How to Use Perlite
1. Mixing with Soil
Mix Perlite with your soil or potting mix to improve its texture and drainage. Ideal ratios are 20-30% perlite to the total mix for most plants.
2. Hydroponics
Perlite can also be used in hydroponic systems to provide the right balance of moisture retention and aeration.
3. For Seed Starting
Perlite makes an excellent base for seed starting as it ensures proper moisture levels and root development.
4. Repotting Plants
When repotting plants, mix Perlite with your potting soil to help improve drainage and promote root growth.
