PERLITE #3

Perlite #3 (Coarse Perlite) is, an essential component for any high-quality potting mix. Perlite is a lightweight, highly porous volcanic glass that serves as a vital soil additive, drastically improving both drainage and aeration. By incorporating Perlite into your potting mix, you prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged and anaerobic, ensuring a healthier environment for your plants' roots. This lightweight alternative to Pumice is not only easy to use but also highly durable, making it a preferred choice among gardeners and horticulturists.

Our Perlite #3, also known as "Coarse Perlite," features granules approximately 1/2" in diameter. This size is particularly beneficial for creating "chunky" potting mixes that aim to provide optimal airflow to the root zone, ensuring excellent drainage. The coarse texture of Perlite #3 helps to prevent soil compaction, fostering an ideal environment for root growth. The small air pockets created throughout the medium significantly enhance the structure, leading to robust, healthy plant development.

Aroids and other plants that thrive in highly aerated soil will particularly benefit from Perlite #3. This coarse variety is almost a requirement for crafting the perfect growing medium for these species, ensuring they receive the best possible care. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting, our Perlite #3 potting substrate is a reliable and effective solution to elevate your gardening success.
