Product description
•Why use Hardys Perlite?Graded at 2-4mm it's an excellent addition to a soil or compost potting mix to replace sand, or a standalone substrate for cacti and succulents. It improves drainage, aeration, and prevents compaction for stronger roots.
•How do I use Hardys Perlite?Mix perlite with compost at a ratio of around 1:4 before planting to prevent roots from sitting in damp soil. Use alone or mixed with other mediums to create ideal conditions for starting seeds, or as a medium for propagating plants from cuttings.
•Where can I use Hardys Perlite?Use in pots, containers, seed trays, hydroponic setups and more. Plants grown in containers need more help with drainage than those in garden beds; adding perlite to the potting mix helps prevent waterlogged roots and promotes healthy growth.
•How does Hardys Perlite help?The individual grains create air pockets that help prevent soil compaction, increasing oxygen access and holding water at their surface to provide nourishment to roots without waterlogging. It also insulates soil from extreme temperature variations.
•Is Hardys Perlite suitable for seeds and cuttings?Perlite's combined ability to hold water and aerate soil keeps plant cuttings from drying out during the early stages of root growth. Perlite's benefits translate to seed sowing too. Simply moisten the medium thoroughly, then sow the seeds on top.
