Perlite 4dm

Origin:

Perlite is a natural, volcanic glass that is formed when obsidian (a type of volcanic rock) is heated to high temperatures.

Perlite is a lightweight, white or grayish-white material that resembles small, rounded balls or granules.

    - High porosity (allows for good drainage and aeration)

    - Neutral pH (won't alter soil pH)

    - Sterile (won't introduce diseases or pests to soil)

    - Inert (won't react with soil or plants)

    - Soil amendment (improves drainage, aeration, and water retention)

    - Potting mix ingredient (adds structure and porosity)

    - Hydroponic growing medium (provides oxygenation and support for roots)

    - Improves soil structure and drainage

    - Increases oxygenation and aeration for roots

    - Retains moisture but prevents waterlogging

    - Supports healthy root growth and plant development

Overall, perlite is a versatile and valuable material for gardeners and horticulturists, particularly those growing chillies and other plants that require well-draining soil and ample oxygenation.
