Brunnings 5L Coarse Grade Perlite

Brunnings Coarse Grade Perlite is a natural, non-toxic, environmentally friendly, neutral volcanic rock that has been heat treated at a high temperature to produce an extremely lightweight material with a high surface area. It is ideal for use when propagating cuttings, sowing seeds, or as a hydroponic growing medium. The choice between coarse and standard perlite ultimately depends on the specific needs of the plants and the existing soil conditions in your garden. Brunnings Coarse Grade Perlite is ideal for plants that require better drainage like succulents, cactus and orchids. It is also particularly beneficial for larger potted plants, trees and shrubs which thrive with increased air flow and drainage. The larger particle size creates more air space in the soil, which enhances drainage and will retain less water than finer-grade perlite. It also allows for better circulation around plant roots which assists in preventing root rot and promoting healthy root development.
