Perlite Bliss
Plantonix Perlite is a naturally occurring siliceous rock that when heated to 1600° F expands up to 20 times its original volume. This kilning process is very similar to popping popcorn and produces a growing media that is sterile and has a neutral pH of 7.0. The exceptional physical properties of this perlite make it great for adding porosity to soil and soilless mixes. This perlite has numerous hydroponic applications as well.

Step 1: Mix perlite with Coco Bliss, compost, or bark to make a clean, soilless growing medium.
Step 2: Spread an even layer of Perlite over the surface into the top several inches to lighten the soil and add aeration or improve drainage.
