Size: The product comes in a 1 kg package, containing small, lightweight, and porous granules.

Color: Perlite granules are typically white or light gray.

Where it can be grown: Perlite is not a plant but a soil amendment. It can be used in various types of soil and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor gardening. It is particularly useful in:

• Potting mixes for houseplants
• Outdoor garden beds
• Seed starting mixes
• Hydroponic systems

Benefits of growing at home:

1. Improved Drainage: Perlite helps to prevent waterlogging by improving soil aeration and drainage, ensuring that plant roots receive enough oxygen.

2. Lightweight: Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle and mix with other soil components.

3. Sterile: Being a naturally occurring volcanic glass, perlite is free from pests, diseases, and weed seeds, promoting healthier plant growth.

4. Water Retention: Despite its drainage capabilities, perlite also retains some moisture, providing a balanced environment for plant roots.

5. Root Development: It helps in promoting strong root development, which is crucial for healthy plant growth.

What height it will grow: As perlite is a soil component and not a plant, it does not grow. It assists in the growth of plants by improving soil conditions.

How much time it will take to grow: Since perlite is a soil amendment and not a plant, it does not have a growth period. Its benefits are immediate upon mixing with soil.

Perlite is an essential component for gardeners looking to enhance soil structure and promote healthy plant growth.
