Perlite 3-6mm

Description

Achieve Optimal Soil Structure and Healthy Root Growth

Give your plants the strong foundation they deserve with Perlite 3–6mm. Compacted soil is one of the leading causes of root rot and stunted plant growth. Adding medium-grade perlite to your potting soils creates a light, porous texture that allows air, water, and nutrients to circulate freely around the root system.

This versatile 3–6mm particle size is the industry standard for general horticultural use, making it ideal for indoor houseplants, greenhouse cultivation, outdoor containers, and raised beds.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Prevents Waterlogging: Excess water drains quickly through the coarse structure, protecting plants from root rot and overwatering.

• Encourages Faster Rooting: The light texture offers zero resistance to delicate young roots, making it perfect for taking cuttings and starting seeds.

• Long-Lasting Performance: Unlike organic soil conditioners, perlite does not break down or decompose over time, providing lasting aeration for years.

• Ideal for Custom Blends: Easily mix with peat moss, coco coir, compost, or potting soil to create tailored growing media for cacti, succulents, orchids, and houseplants.

Recommended Mixing Ratios

• General Potting Mix: Blend 1 part perlite with 3 parts soil or compost to improve structure.

• Cacti, Succulents & Mediterranean Plants: Blend 1 part perlite with 1–2 parts soil mix for rapid drainage.

• Rooting Cuttings: Use a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat moss or coco coir to foster fast root propagation.
