Perlite , 5L

Description

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic glass that has relatively high water content. It is a naturally occurring mineral and has the unusual property of expanding tremendously when heated sufficiently.

Expanded perlite is a mineral product that has undergone an expansion process at 1200 ºC, is inert, stable, neutral (pH between 6.5 and 7), sterile, light, and insulating.

Its agronomic qualities are:

– Great capacity to receive and retain water and fertilizers.
– Facilitates aeration.
– It sponges the soil.
– It performs a good drainage task.
– Stimulates initial rooting and vigorous plant growth.

Perlite can be used for mixing with other substrates or for use in recirculated hydroponics and lost solution hydroponics.
