ABOUT PERLITE
The porosity offered byĀ PerliteĀ is one of the most crucial and important aspects of this natural soil additive. The major idea is to imitate natural soil and ground conditions in potted plants. Market soil compacts and reduces aeration inside pots which is opposite of what naturally occurs underground. Adding Perlite to your potting mix will alleviate stress on growing roots and enhance the soilās ability to drain.
There are several reasons why perlite is such a useful additive to gardens and hydroponic setups. They mainly stem from its unique physical and chemical properties:
- Perlite is physically stable and retains its shape even when pressed into the soil.
- It has a neutral pH level.
- It contains no toxic chemicals and is made from naturally occurring compounds found in soil.
- It is incredibly porous and contains pockets of space inside for air.
- It can retain some amount of water while allowing the rest to drain away.
