PVP INDUSTRIES Perlite Planting Soil Additive

No, this perlite is pH-neutral. It is designed to improve soil structure without interfering with the nutrient profile or acidity levels of your existing growing medium.

Yes, it is excellent for seed starting. Its sterile, non-toxic composition helps prevent soil-borne diseases while providing the necessary aeration for delicate new roots to establish.

Coarse perlite provides larger air pockets within the soil, which significantly improves drainage and oxygen flow. This grade is generally preferred for long-term container plants and hydroponic systems where root health depends on high aeration.

Absolutely. Because it is inorganic, sterile, and provides superior drainage, it is a standard medium for hydroponic systems, particularly for supporting root structures in net pots.

While the perlite itself is non-toxic and organic, it is a fine, lightweight material that can create dust when poured. We recommend wearing a basic dust mask to avoid inhaling particles during the mixing process.

For most container plants, a ratio of 10% to 25% perlite to potting soil is standard. If you are growing succulents or plants that require very sharp drainage, you can increase that ratio up to 50%.
