Perlite 1 kg

Perlite is used in potting compost mixes to improves aeration, draining and insulation. Perlite can be used to open up the structure of ready-mixed loam or peat-based composts. For soilless compost mixtures, use 3 or 4 parts of Sphagnum Moss Peat to 1 part of perlite (80/20).

Perlite speeds up germination and improves seedling growth. For seeds, sow on a well-watered mixture of equal parts perlite and Sphagnum Moss Peat. Alternatively, add 1 part perlite to 2 parts ready-mixed potting compost. Perlite is used in potting compost mixes to improves aeration, draining and insulation.
