Perlite & Soil Aeration
Perlite creates permanent air pockets in soil, coco and potting mixes so roots get oxygen and excess water drains away.
Shop small bags for houseplants and seed starting, plus larger perlite and aeration amendments for beds and big containers.
Common Questions
Perlite or vermiculite?
Perlite drains and aerates. Vermiculite holds more water and nutrients.
Does perlite break down?
No. It is inert and stays in the mix as an aeration amendment.
