Perlite! The popcorn of the soil additives. It is a staple in most potting soils and a must-have if you only have standard garden soil at hand that doesn’t drain well.
Improves aeration and drainage
Perfect for propagation
Carefully sifted from powders
Perlite is an amazing addition to your soil mix. It improves aeration and drainage qualities of any soil mix. Perlite is very light-weight and a sustainable resource. Perlite is also great for propagating plants, just fill the container with water and perlite and submerge the stem of the plant.
This perlite is sifted carefully and won't stir up any powder when moving it around, making it safer than regular powdery perlite. The small particles are bad for your health and can get stuck in your lungs.
Perlite v.s. Vermiculite
Compared to vermiculite it retains less water and creates a more airy substrate. This is ideal for most houseplants except ones that prefer a moist soil like the alocasia, calathea & maranta plants.

Is the perlite cleaned?
The perlite is cleaned before selling through sifting. Cleaning removes the smallest and most harmful particles.
Though perlite is non-toxic, inhaling the small particles and dust can be harmful to your respiratory tract, so ensure to wear a mask when handling it.
Why does the perlite come slightly moist?
We sell our perlite lightly moistened to reduce its dust. Do note that due to transport, small dust can be created from the pressure and caution should still be taken!
What is perlite made from?
Perlite comes from volcanic glass with high moisture. It was re-heated to 1200 degrees Celsius to expand it 20 times. The high water content in perlite creates steam inside the rock.
This causes it to 'puff up' and expand, much like popcorn!

Most houseplants benefit from Perlite
Cleaned and sifted, slightly moist. The dust with unsifted perlite is bad for your health and can get stuck in your lungs.
Sometimes there's a lot of dust in perlite bags, but it's not the case here. I forgot to mention in my other reviews that I really like the packaging (possibility to close it).
