Key Features

• Coarse Perlite for Superior Air-to-Water Balance
  Larger particle size promotes excellent drainage and increased oxygen in the root zone — essential for hydroponics, propagation and container media.

• Improves Root Development & Plant Health
  By maintaining optimal aeration and moisture levels, this perlite helps prevent root rot and supports vigorous root systems.

• Enhances Soil & Soilless Mixes
  Use it alone in hydroponic grow systems or blended with potting soil to improve drainage, reduce compaction, and increase moisture control.

• Lightweight & Inert Growing Media
  Perlite is pH neutral and sterile, adding no nutrients of its own — ideal for controlled nutrient programs and consistent crop performance.

• Versatile Growing Applications
  Perfect for hydroponic NFT systems, ebb & flow tables, deep water culture, container gardens, raised beds, cut flower production, seedling propagation and microgreens production.

Benefits for Growers

• Improved Water Management
  Reduces runoff and water logging by holding moisture while allowing excess solution to drain freely — helping maintain consistent irrigation cycles.

• Better Oxygenation Around Roots
  Increased airflow in the root zone promotes stronger, healthier plants and reduces disease stress.

• Consistent, High-Quality Media
  Sterile and inert, horticultural perlite won’t break down over time — making it dependable for multiple crop cycles.

• Boosts Media Performance
  When blended with coconut coir, peat moss, or soil, perlite improves overall structure for increased yield and uniform crop development.
