How to Guide

Non-combustible ultra-lightweight mineral aggregate with excellent insulation & adsorption properties. When it comes to using perlite, you’ll find it’s pretty versatile - giving you a variety of ways to use it in your gardening ventures. That’s not all, though. Containing high amounts of silica, perlite also works to stimulate root growth and soil aeration. Perlite applications Expanded perlite is a white, ultra-lightweight aggregate ranging from a very fine powder to an aggregate with a particle size up to 5mm in size. It is inorganic, inert, neutral in pH, biologically stable and has no asbestos content. It has excellent thermal insulation properties over an extremely wide temperature range from cryogenics at minus 273°C (absolute zero) up to refractory applications at over 1000°C. It also has a highly adsorbent surface and a very low bulk density, which makes it an ideal carrier or low cost filler for many compound formulations.

Sowing: mixed into seed compost, perlite helps to retain moisture and aerate the soil - allowing delicate seedling roots to flourish without becoming too damp Perlite is a white, ultra-lightweight aggregate ranging from a very fine powder to an aggregate with a particle size up to 5mm in size So I used sharp sand. The pots were incredibly heavy, and I thought they must be getting far too wet under the mist propagator, but the cuttings rooted well. On potting on the compost is very fine - the sand has intermingled with the multi purpose to create a very fine media (maybe I rubbed it together well when mixing it, I can't remember). So it does seem to have done a good job. Dunno if I will damage more roots at potting on though - the mix doesn't fall off the roots as easily as Perlite.
