Perlite for Hydroponics and Gardening Soil is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that has been expanded to create a lightweight, porous soil additive. It is a fundamental ingredient for anyone looking to improve soil structure, as it prevents compaction and ensures that roots have access to vital oxygen. Whether used in seed starting mixes, container gardens, or hydroponic systems, Perlite is the key to healthy, vigorous root development.

Features:

• Significantly improves soil aeration by creating permanent air pockets, preventing the soil from becoming heavy and waterlogged.
• Provides excellent drainage while retaining a thin film of moisture on its surface to keep roots hydrated without drowning them.
• Completely sterile and pH neutral, making it safe for delicate seedlings and compatible with all types of fertilizers.
• Inorganic and durable, meaning it does not decompose or break down over time, providing lasting benefits to your potting mix.
• An ideal medium for hydroponics and aquaponics due to its high capillary action and ability to support plant stems.

Particle Size: 2mm to 4mm (Standard) / Origin: Natural Volcanic Mineral / Usage: Mix at 10-30% with soil or use 100% for hydroponics.
