Description
Perlite makes moisture, oxygen, and nutrients easily available to plants. This is due to the unique shape of each particle, which allows moisture and nutrients to be held in crevices until needed by the plant. Meanwhile, the granular quality provides quick drainage of excess moisture and allows space for oxygen, which is vital for healthy plant growth.
Agricultural perlite particles have a closed-cell structure with numerous tiny crevices on the surface. These crevices trap water and hold it against drainage and evaporation, while remaining available to the plant roots.
Agricultural perlite provides a more stable moisture environment around the roots at all times, regardless of the weather or root growth stage.
Perlite ensures consistent irrigation throughout the entire growth zone.
Less chance of overwatering with agricultural perlite.
Perlite avoids the waste of water, nutrients, and precise floor space.
The use of perlite eliminates the need for growth rows.
It is lightweight and can absorb and provide a large amount of both air and water. It is sterile and has a pH of 7, and it can be very tolerant of slight changes in soil conditions.
Most plants can be grown in perlite alone, although finer and medium grades will work better and require less water.
It is sterile and free of weeds and diseases.
Perlite is excellent for drying flowers.
It serves as an insulator to reduce extreme soil temperature fluctuations.
