• UK GROW Perlite is a natural soil mineral used to prevent water loss & soil compaction, use for seed starting, amending potting mixes & rooting cuttings. Perlite has been heated at high temperature causing it to expand by up to 15 times. This creates a porous structure to store both air and water.

• UK GROW Perlite is a naturally occurring mineral in the form of amorphous volcanic glass, although it’s often confused by new gardeners as being some lightweight material like styrofoam. It’s occasionally called expanded pyrite and has the nickname “volcanic popcorn”, and I’ll get into why in the next segment. If you looked at a piece of horticultural perlite under a microscope, you would see that it’s quite porous.
• Airflow in the soil is greatly improved in a bed amended with perlite, and that’s necessary both for your plant roots to breathe and for any worms, beneficial nematodes, and other good natural garden inhabitants. Because it’s a mineral glass and thus harder than the soil around it, it also helps to slow down compaction, and keeps your soil fluffy and lightweight.
