Perlite Promix

Perlite is a lightweight, porous volcanic rock that is heated to extremely high temperatures and then cooled rapidly. This process causes the rock to expand into a light, fluffy material that is typically used as an additive in potting soils or as a growing medium for plants.

The use of perlite in horticulture has many advantages over other types of soil additives such as vermiculite and peat moss. The main advantage of perlite is its ability to hold more moisture than these other types of additives, which can be especially useful when growing plants indoors where the air can often be dry.

Another advantage of using perlite for horticultural purposes is its versatility. It can be used in both indoor and outdoor gardens because it does not break down like peat moss and it has no odor like vermiculite. Perlite also has the ability to retain heat better than these other types of soil
