  • BENEFITS

    BENEFITS OF PERLITE:

    • Ideal for achieving mixtures with good aeration

    • Improves drainage

    • Retains moisture

    • Inert

    • 100% Natural and friendly to the environment

  • HOW TO USE?

    • Incorporate perlite so that it represents between 10% -50% of the total volume of the final substrate.

    • Planting in substrates with a high proportion of perlite requires greater addition of fertilizers during all phases of growth.

    • Planting in substrates with a low proportion of perlite, provides greater retention of water and nutrients, therefore requiring less addition of fertilizers in all phases of growth.

    • It is recommended to mix with  Coconut fiber  and  Compost Premium  by BioTerra

    * You don't know how much perlite to use?  Look for the  Potting mix  I the  Bio-Substrate  that were specially developed to provide growth in groves, pots and beds.
