Description Perlite is a naturally occurring siliceous rock that expands when heated to 1600 degree F, producing a lightweight and porous material that is commonly used as a soil additive in gardening. Perlite has a neutral pH and is sterile, non-flammable, odorless, and nontoxic. It does not decay nor shrink and is long lasting. Perlite helps soil to retain moisture and nutrients while preventing root compaction, allowing for healthy root growth and better drainage. It is suitable for container gardening, raised garden beds, hydroponic net cups, and can be used for compost aeration. Perlite is commonly used alone as a hydroponic medium or can be added to any growing medium to improve texture. Horticultural grade perlite is stable and will not degrade or compact over time, maintaining consistent aeration and drainage for plant roots. It is derived from a naturally occurring volcanic rock and when heated, it expands up to 10 times its original volume. Perlite is suitable for all types of plants, including succulents, orchids, houseplants, cacti, seed starters, and an array of exotic indoor plants. It is also listed with various standards organizations for organic agriculture.
