Perlite Soil

Perlite soil, a key product in our Soils and Amendments category, is a unique growing medium treasured for its exceptional properties that support plant health and growth. Perlite is a volcanic glass that, when heated, expands to create a lightweight, porous, and sterile material perfect for gardening. Its most distinctive feature is its excellent drainage capability, which helps prevent waterlogging and root rot, two common issues in gardening. 

Yet, it still retains enough water to keep the roots adequately hydrated. Moreover, the coarse structure of perlite provides plenty of spaces for air, encouraging healthy root aeration and leading to strong, vigorous plant growth. It's ideal for use as a standalone medium in hydroponic systems or as an amendment to improve the texture and drainage of traditional garden soil or potting mixes. As an inert substance, perlite does not interfere with nutrient availability, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking greater control over plant nutrition. Whether you are growing indoor houseplants or outdoor garden plants, adding perlite soil to your gardening strategy can significantly enhance plant health and yields.
