BetterGrow Perlite
£4.99
Perlite is made from expanded volcanic glass that has been heated until it ‘pops’.
This produces a porous composition, allowing easy absorption of water, whilst simultaneously improving drainage and aeration within potting mixes.
It's usually used in houseplant mixes for this reason. It'll stop your soils from becoming or staying soggy whilst retaining enough moisture to encourage root health.
It also comes in very handy when propagating cuttings and sowing seeds for the same reasons.
Combine with houseplant focus or seed composts for the best results.
Available in both 3-litre and 8-litre bags.
