Product description
Perlite typically contains the following ingredients: 70-75% silicon dioxide. Aluminum oxide. Sodium oxide.
Purpose:
Perlite speeds up the germination and rooting, improves aeration, draining & insulation in Potting Mixes, and improves the texture of clay soils. Perlite is the name for a naturally occurring siliceous rock. When heated, it can expand from four to twenty times its original volume.
Features:
Perlite is very light with a particle and BD of 0.9 and 0.1 g cm−3, respectively. It is very porous, has a strong capillary action, and can hold 3–4 times its weight in water.
How To Use Perlite?
