Perlite

Perlite is a lightweight, volcanic glass that is expanded by heating, resulting in a porous, white material widely used in gardening and landscaping. It improves soil aeration and drainage, making it ideal for potting mixes, garden beds, and lawn care. Perlite retains moisture without becoming waterlogged, promoting healthy root development. It is also used in hydroponic systems and as a soil amendment in areas with heavy clay soil to improve its texture and fertility. Perlite is inert, meaning it does not decompose or alter the pH of the soil, making it a stable, long-term addition to any garden.
