Perlite is a versatile and essential addition to any garden, particularly valuable for improving soil drainage, aeration, and preventing compaction. Whether you’re growing plants in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground, perlite helps create a healthier growing environment, leading to stronger, more resilient plants. Over time, some soils can become compacted, which limits root growth and water infiltration. Perlite helps keep the soil loose and friable, making it easier for roots to expand and for water to penetrate. It can also be used as a light mulch around plants. It reflects light and helps keep the soil surface dry, reducing the likelihood of fungal diseases. Perlite has a neutral pH range of approximately 6.5 to 7.5, and this will not affect the acidity or alkalinity of the soil, making it suitable for most plants.

- Effective for seed starting: Perlite is an excellent medium for starting seeds due to its unique properties. it is naturally sterile, which means it is free from pathogens, pests, and weed seeds. This reduces the risk of diseases that can affect young seedlings, providing a clean and safe environment for seeds to germinate.
- Improves Soil Aeration: Perlite allows air to circulate more freely within the soil. This improved aeration is crucial for healthy root development, as roots require oxygen to absorb nutrients and grow effectively.
- Enhances Drainage: One of the main reasons perlite is added to soil mixes is its ability to improve drainage. This reduces the risk of overwatering and root rot, which can be fatal to plants.
- Moisture Retention: While perlite enhances drainage, it also retains a small amount of moisture within its porous structure. which is particularly beneficial in environments where watering is less frequent or during hot, dry periods.
- Mixed with Other Media: Perlite is mixing with cocopeat or coconut coir. By creating the right perlite mix, you can tailor your growing medium to meet the needs of various plants and improve overall growth.
