Perlite 1 liter

Perlite is an amorphous volcanic crystal that has a relatively high water content, typically formed by the hydration of obsidian. It arises naturally and has the unusual property of expanding widely when heated sufficiently. It is an industrial mineral and a useful commercial product because of its light weight after processing.

In horticulture, Perlite can be used for soil improvement or just as a medium for hydroponics or to start pruning. When used as an amendment, it helps prevent water loss and soil compaction.

Perlite is an excellent filtration aid. It is widely used as an alternative to diatomaceous earth. The popularity of Perlite consumption for this purpose is growing considerably worldwide.
