Product Details

Vitax Perlite Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic rock which, when heated to high temperatures, produces lightweight micro-porous granules. When mixed with compost, Perlite holds water and nutrients in the compost, producing a healthier growing media. Perlite can be used for seed starting, rooted cuttings, potting-on or planting out. If using for seed starting, Perlite’s structure maintains moisture and temperature levels.
Mix with soil when planting out to help hold water and nutrients close to the root system
Primarily a compost additive, Perlite helps to stimulate root development and growth
Improves water and nutrients holding capacity when mixed with compost.
Use alone for seed germination

How to Use:

Seed Starting: Mix perlite with soil or compost to improve moisture retention and aeration for seed germination. Use alone for seed germination by placing seeds directly into perlite-filled containers.
Potting-On: Incorporate perlite into potting soil when repotting plants into larger containers to improve drainage and aeration.
Planting Out: Mix perlite with soil when planting out to help hold water and nutrients close to the root system and stimulate root development.

Where to Use:

Vitax Perlite Compost Additive is suitable for use in various gardening applications, including seed starting, potting-on, planting out, and as a compost additive.
It can be used in indoor and outdoor settings, such as greenhouses, gardens, and container gardens.

When to Apply:

Apply perlite when preparing soil mixes for seed starting, potting-on, or planting out plants.
Perlite can be used throughout the growing season as needed to improve soil structure and moisture retention.
For seed starting, mix perlite with soil or compost before sowing seeds or use it alone as a seed germination medium.
When repotting plants, mix perlite with potting soil to improve drainage and aeration.

Cautions:

Avoid inhaling dust when handling perlite. Wear a mask and gloves, and work in a well-ventilated area.
Store perlite in a dry place away from moisture to prevent it from compacting or becoming moldy.
Keep perlite out of reach of children and pets, as ingestion may cause irritation.
Do not apply perlite in excessive amounts, as it may lead to waterlogging in containers.
While perlite can improve moisture retention, it is important not to overwater plants, as this can lead to root rot.
Check the pH of the soil mix after incorporating perlite, as it may affect the pH balance of the growing medium.

By following these guidelines, you can effectively use Vitax Perlite Compost Additive to improve soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient availability for healthier plant growth.
