Lightweight drainage additive for healthy roots and an airy substrate

Chunky Perlite is a coarse-grade perlite fraction (5–15 mm) that is key to achieving the perfect structure in your substrate. Thanks to its low weight and sterility, it provides exceptional drainage and effectively prevents roots from becoming waterlogged. It also adds much-needed air to the substrate, supporting healthy root systems. It is an ideal choice for aroids, succulents, and all plants that require a highly free-draining substrate.

Suitable for:

Aroids, succulents, epiphytes, propagation by cuttings, and custom substrate mixes.

Main benefits of perlite:

• Large particles (5–15 mm) effectively improve drainage

• Increases substrate aeration and reduces the risk of root rot

• Neutral pH, sterile, and chemically inert

• Suitable for preparing your own substrate mixes or for standalone use in propagation

Composition:

• 100% expanded volcanic glass (perlite)

• Made in Europe

Packaging:

Resealable and recyclable 8.5-litre bag

Recommended use:

• Mix into substrate for better drainage

• Use on its own for cuttings or rooting

• Combine with other components (e.g. coco coir, sphagnum moss, bark) for the ideal mix

Storage:

Store in a dry, cool place. Seal well after use so the perlite retains its structure and cleanliness.
