Perlite is an ideal compost additive as it helps to retain air in the compost which is essential for healthy root development.

It helps to create an optimum balance of air and water, which makes water logging almost impossible and minimises damage to roots when transplanting.

When added to compost it accelerates rooting and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.

Perlite is a naturally occurring, non-toxic, volcanic rock that has been heated to a high temperature to produce a lightweight, micro-porous material with a high surface area.

It has been carefully graded to produce a particle size of 2-5mm.

How to Use For harder cuttings and for fragile plants increase to two parts Perlite and one part Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost.

Keep well watered, but ensure pots can freely drain. We recommend dampening the Perlite before use, to reduce dust.

When using the whole bag contents, add up to 1 litre (2 pints) of water in the bag and leave to soak for several minutes before use.

Rooting Cuttings For soft stem and leaf cuttings, use a mixture of equal parts by volume of Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost and Gro-Sure Perlite. Potting on Use a mixture of Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost with 25% Gro-Sure Perlite added.

Perlite can be used wholly or in part replacement of sand and/or grit to create a light and very open structure, improving drainage, aeration and insulation.

Before transplanting plants from pots to containers it is recommended to water the plants well and allow to drain. Remove plants from their pots and place into the container, firming compost around the plant roots.

Once the container is fully planted, water well and feed as appropriate
