Perlite 10L is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that, when heated to high temperatures, forms lightweight, micro-porous granules ideal for horticultural use. When mixed with compost or soil, Perlite improves water and nutrient retention, promotes healthy root development, and enhances overall plant growth.
Primarily used as a compost additive, Perlite helps maintain moisture and temperature levels, making it ideal for seed germination, rooted cuttings, potting-on, and planting out. Its bright white color reflects light under foliage, protecting against bright sunlight while stimulating plant growth.
