Aurora Innovations Procision Perlite

The #3 designation refers to a 'mega chunk' size, which is significantly larger than standard horticultural perlite. This larger grade is specifically designed to create larger air pockets in your soil, making it ideal for plants that require high oxygen levels at the roots or for heavy-duty drainage in large containers.

Yes, because this product is clean, sterile, and inert, it is an excellent medium for hydroponic applications. Its porous structure provides a stable environment for root systems while allowing nutrient solutions to flow freely.

No, this is a 100% natural volcanic perlite with an NPK ratio of 0-0-0. It serves strictly as a physical amendment to improve soil structure, aeration, and drainage rather than as a fertilizer.

For general potting, a common ratio is 10% to 25% perlite by volume, depending on how much drainage your specific plant requires. If you are working with moisture-loving plants, use less; for succulents or plants prone to root rot, you can increase the ratio.

While this is a high-quality, chunky grade, perlite naturally produces some fine dust during transit. It is recommended to open the bag in a well-ventilated area and lightly mist the contents with water before mixing to keep any dust from becoming airborne.
