Vitax Perlite – Lightweight, Micro-Porous Growing Media
Vitax Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic rock that, when heated to high temperatures, forms lightweight micro-porous granules. This versatile material is ideal for improving soil structure and providing better moisture retention, making it perfect for a range of gardening applications.
Key Features:
- Improves Compost Structure: When mixed with compost, Perlite holds water and nutrients, producing a healthier growing medium.
- Stimulates Root Development: Encourages better root growth and development, ideal for seed starting, rooted cuttings, potting-on, and planting out.
- Maintains Moisture & Temperature: Perlite helps maintain consistent moisture and temperature levels for seed starting and delicate plants.
- Reflects Light: Its bright white colour reflects light under the foliage, encouraging better growth.
- Protects Against Sunlight: Provides protection from bright sunlight and high radiant energy for delicate plants.
How to Use:
- Before Use: Dampen Perlite to reduce dust; if using the entire bag, add about a litre of water and allow it to soak.
- For Seed Starting & Cuttings: Mix into compost to improve drainage, moisture retention, and root development.
- For Potting & Planting: Add Perlite to potting mixes or use as a top dressing to promote healthy root growth.
