Composition & profile

The material

A porous mineral material that increases available air

The expanded structure creates gaps between other components, lightens the mix and helps water move away more quickly.

2–6 mm

Cleaned and sifted perlite

Expanded mineral perlite from Greece in a 2–6 mm grade. It is typically added at 15–40% for aeration and drainage.

Material expanded perlite: A very lightweight, porous mineral material that creates stable air spaces.
Particle size 2–6 mm: A sifted grade for even distribution through the mix.
Ratio 15–40%: The recommended addition by volume for most houseplant mixes.
Origin Greece: The mineral is mined in Greece and heat-expanded into its final porous form.

More air

The particles create oxygen spaces between the finer components of the mix.

Faster drainage

Water moves more easily through the open mix and exits through the pot's drainage holes.

Stable mineral structure

It does not break down like bark or coco coir unless crushed under high pressure.

Application steps

Use & application

Add 15–40% for a more open, free-draining mix

The suitable ratio depends on the other components and how quickly the root zone needs to dry.

Cuttings

01Dampen lightly before mixing

A light mist reduces dust without soaking the material.

02Measure 15–40% by volume

Use a lower ratio in already open mixes and a higher one when more drainage is needed.

03Blend evenly

Distribute the perlite throughout the substrate and avoid firm pressure that crushes the particles.

04Plant and water

After planting, water evenly and let all excess water drain fully.

Limit dust while handling

Work with the material slightly damp, avoid inhaling dust and wear a mask when needed. Do not crush the particles while mixing.

In the package

Perlite · 3 L

Cleaned and sifted 2–6 mm perlite, slightly moist to help limit dust.

Use

Ready to blend

Add it straight to the mix, lightly dampening it first if needed to control dust.

Storage

Reseal the package after use and keep it in a cool, dark place. Store the material away from children and pets.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about choosing, using and storing the product.

01What does Perlite contain?

Expanded mineral perlite from Greece in a 2–6 mm grade. It is typically added at 15–40% for aeration and drainage.

02Which plants or uses is it suitable for?

Most houseplants benefit from added perlite. It is particularly useful when a mix needs more aeration and faster drainage.

03Does it add nutrients to the mix?

No. Perlite is a mineral structural material, not a fertiliser. Nutrition must come from other ingredients or a suitable fertiliser.

04Does it retain any water?

Its water-retention capacity is 35–45%, but its main role in the mix is to increase air spaces and support drainage.

05What should I consider if I have pets?

The material is not intended for ingestion. Keep it away from pets and children, and wash your hands after use.

06How should I handle the dust?

Lightly dampen the material before mixing, work in a ventilated area and avoid inhalation. Wear a mask when needed.
