Perlite (Fine) — Essential Aeration for Healthy Roots
Fine Perlite is a lightweight, porous volcanic mineral designed to dramatically improve soil aeration, drainage, and root oxygenation. It prevents compaction, reduces the risk of root rot, and supports fast, healthy root development—especially in aroids, propagation setups, and soilless mixes.
This grade is ideal when you want balanced airflow without large chunky gaps, making it perfect for smaller root systems, cuttings, and refined custom blends.
