Perlite is a culture medium that can be used to mix with other substrates or to use in cultures
Recirculated hydroponics and lost solution hydroponics.
Applied on the surface, it helps to maintain humidity and temperature.
Features
Tolerates excess irrigation due to its drainage capacity.
It is very comfortable and handy due to its low weight.
Its size remains unchanged.
It does not absorb water, but it does retain it on its surface, improving the water retention capacity of the substrate.
Mixed with other substrates in good proportion, such as soil for example, improves its structure
It favors the development of the roots by - creating holes (macro and micro-pores) improving the total porosity.
It beneficially influences the aeration of the substrate, essential for the roots.
It contributes to the non-caking of the substrate over time.
