Coarse Perlite Soil Amendment
Coarse Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic mineral that is expanded through heat to create a lightweight, highly porous soil amendment. Its larger particle size makes it ideal for improving drainage and increasing air space in potting soils and container growing media.
This grade of perlite is commonly used in container gardening, nursery production, cactus and succulent soils, and specialty plant mixes where fast drainage and strong root development are essential.
Because coarse perlite does not break down over time, it helps maintain long-term soil structure and prevents compaction in containers and planting mixes. It is sterile, pH neutral, and safe to use with a wide range of plants.
