Perlite

Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic glass that, when expanded, becomes a highly porous, lightweight medium. It improves aeration, prevents soil compaction, and ensures well-draining conditions—perfect for delicate roots and plants sensitive to overwatering. Incorporate perlite into your potting mix, combine it with peat moss for seed starting, or use it to root cuttings more effectively than water alone. Its airy structure promotes stronger root development and healthier, more resilient plants across a wide range of species.
