Perlite: what it is for
Perlite is one of the easiest ways to make fine soil lighter. It creates small air spaces throughout a blend and helps the mix return air after watering.
Texture profile
- Lightweight aeration: opens dense soil without making pots heavy
- Drainage support: helps water move through the full mix
- Neutral mineral: works in many custom recipes
- Blend-through use: most useful when distributed evenly
Start with a modest percentage
Use more in dense all-purpose soil and less in mixes already built around bark or pumice. Wet the perlite lightly before mixing if dust is an issue.
Perlite in practice
Like other drainage materials, perlite works best throughout the root zone. A bottom layer does not repair a compacted mix above it.
