Perlite

Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that has been used in horticulture for decades. It is an excellent soil amendment that can provide numerous benefits to your plants.

Perlite is a lightweight material that is made by heating volcanic glass to high temperatures, causing it to expand and become porous. When added to soil, perlite can improve soil structure, providing better drainage and aeration for plant roots. Perlite also helps prevent soil compaction, which can be harmful to plant roots over time.

Furthermore, perlite has excellent water-holding capacity, helping to keep soil moist without becoming waterlogged. This makes perlite an ideal choice for plants that require good drainage and consistent moisture.
