    Discover the Wonders of Perlite

    Perlite, a remarkable form of natural glass, is your go-to solution for enhancing plant growth and ensuring optimal soil health. Here's why Perlite stands out:

    Unique Features of Perlite

    • Extremely Lightweight: Its lightweight nature allows for easy handling and application.
    • Superior Water Retention: Perlite can absorb and retain vast quantities of water, ensuring your plants stay hydrated.
    • Promotes Root Growth: It provides an excellent environment for root development, fostering healthier plants.
    • Supports Beneficial Fungi: Perlite is exceptionally hospitable to mycorrhizal fungi, which play a crucial role in nutrient absorption.
    • Neutral pH and Sterile: With a neutral pH and being weed-free, you can trust Perlite to create a safe growing environment.

    Versatile Applications

    Perlite is perfect for a variety of horticultural needs:

    • Soilless Growing Mixes: Widely used around the globe, Perlite enhances aeration and moisture retention, leading to superior plant growth.
    • Container Plant Cultivation: Ideal for houseplants, herbs, and even specialist bonsai trees, Perlite improves drainage and root health.
    • Rooting Medium for Cuttings: Ready to use straight from the bag, making propagation easier than ever.

    How to Use Perlite

    For optimal results, consider the following guidelines:

    • When mixing with other components, ensure they are virtually non-absorbent.
    • Limit Perlite to no more than 20% of the total growing medium mix.
    • Combine Perlite with Leca or Vermiculite for the best results in your bonsai projects.

    Bag Contents

    First time for everything

    So I purchased the Groperl after watching a youtube video on repotting a bonsai. Long story short I thought I would give Growperl a try. So far I couldnt be happier and more importantly my juniper looks very happy. Will definately use it again.
