This is due to the rapid expansion of water within perlite, which creates the extremely light perlite that we use for gardening. Manufacturer Contact Information SRI SAI FORESTRY Review: I never thought of getting this high quality Perlite at this price point!! Decent granular size like the ones available in the market and most importantly no dust at all! Not like other sellers just send most of it as dust or their price is too high! Yah, I did messed up while opening the carboard as i sliced through the tape I also sliced the perlite bag inside cause its tightly fit in there. Not an issue though. Thanks seller looking to buy againg. Review: Good quality perlite for house gardening. The beads are 95% of uniform shape and size, making the potting mix aerated well and able retain moisture. The weight is as advertised. Best used in a mixture of soil, perlite and vermicompost in a 70%:10%:20% ratio. For more moisture needing plants, use 80%:5%:15% ratio. ## Features - Perlite play a vital role in all phases of Plant Life Cycle - Seed Germination - Perlite speeds up germination and improves seedling growth. - Potting Mixes - Perlite is used in potting compost mixes to improves aeration, draining and insulation. Perlite can be used to open up the structure of ready-mixed loam or peat-based composts. - Rooting and Cuttings - Perlite speeds uprooting, reduces the risk of damping off, provides an optimum balance of air and water, and makes water logging almost impossible. It also minimises damage to roots and growth disruption from transplanting. For soft stem and leaf cuttings, use a mixture of equal parts perlite and Sphagnum Moss Peat (50/50). For harder cuttings and fragile plants, increase the proportion of perlite up to 4 parts perlite to 1 part peat (80/20). - For mist irrigation, perlite may be used 100% where sterility is essential. Keep well-watered but ensure free drainage. Feed plants as soon as roots develop. - Soil Conditioning - Perlite improves the texture of heavy silt or clay soils by increasing aeration and drainage. It also minimises the tendency to 'cap' over germinating seeds. These improvements will last for many years. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C4M31DFB | | Brand Name | SRI SAI FORESTRY | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (273) | | Item Type Name | Outdoor Plants | | Item Weight | 1000 Grams | | Manufacturer | SRI SAI FORESTRY | | Manufacturer Contact Information | SRI SAI FORESTRY | | Style Name | WHITE | | Unit Count | 1000 Grams | | Volume | 1 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SRI SAI FORESTRY - **Item weight:** 1000 Grams - **Style:** WHITE ## Images ![SRI SAI FORESTRY Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Terrace Gardening (1kg), Perlite for Gardening Soil Less Potting Mix - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tQmCCu3sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***N on 28 August 2025* I never thought of getting this high quality Perlite at this price point!!
