Description
Perlite is used in potting mixes and as a stand-by myself soilless medium for plant rooting. It’s ph neutral (around 7) and completely sterile, which is critical for rooting plant cuttings. When used by myself, it provides perfect aeration and holds the correct amount of moisture. Perlite can hold three to four times its weight in water, but never becomes soggy. And unlike soil or organic matter, it never disintegrates. Perlite could also be used with hydroponic systems all over the world, with superior crop production. When used in potting soil mixtures, perlite lightens the mixture and improves aeration and drainage. This is especially useful for large container plantings. The most recent use of perlite is in rooftop gardens. This makes sense, since perlite is proven to grow healthy, viable plants. The main limiting factor for rooftop gardens is weight. The use of perlite over other soil mixtures reduces the weight dramatically, by more than half, allowing gardens to thrive in cities where garden space is virtually non-existent. The additional advantage is the green roof also reduces heat gain inside the building. Plant nurseries are also on the perlite band wagon. With shipping costs in response to weight, The use of perlite reduces these costs without sacrificing plant health on long trips. Except for its use as a soil amendment or replacement, perlite is used as a carrier for herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Perlite could also be used to pellitize seeds for easier planting.
