Halamanin's Horticultural Grade Perlite (1 Liter) - Lightweight and Porous Gardening Material

Halamanin's Horticultural Grade Perlite is a lightweight and porous gardening material that is widely used for its beneficial properties in plant growth and soil improvement. It is made from volcanic glass that has been heated to a high temperature, causing it to expand and form small, white granules. Our Perlite is valued for its excellent drainage and aeration capabilities. The porous nature of the granules allows for air pockets within the soil, facilitating oxygen circulation to plant roots. This promotes healthy root development and helps prevent waterlogging, reducing the risk of root rot. It also helps retain moisture in the soil. The surface of the granules traps water, making it available to plant roots while still allowing excess water to drain away. This helps maintain proper soil moisture levels and prevents water stress in plants. Perlite is often used as an additive in potting mixes and garden soils. It helps improve soil structure, making it lighter and fluffier. This enhanced structure promotes better root penetration and nutrient absorption, allowing plants to thrive. Perlite is pH-neutral, which means it does not significantly affect the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. This makes it suitable for a wide range of plants and allows for precise control over the pH levels in gardening applications. Another advantage of perlite is its lightweight nature, which makes it easy to handle and work with. It reduces the overall weight of potted plants and containers, making them more manageable and portable. *Weight and volume may slightly change during delivery due to exposure to temperature changes.
