Product Description

 

Product Description

1.Horticultural Perlite:

Horticultural Perlite is a naturally occurring volcanic rock. When heated at high temperatures, the perlite sand "pops up" and expands 7 to 15 times its original volume. The resulting lightweight particles are composed of microscopic spheres with a porous fracture surface that promotes plant growth. This allows ventilation and drainage of the root system and provides water and nutrient retention.
 

Horticulture Perlite Usage

1)Propagation of seedlings and cuttings 
2)Soil conditioning
3)Hydroponics   
4)Roof deck gardens and eco-roofs

5.Expanded Perlite's Applications:

1.1-3/2-4/3-6mm is widely used in horticulture, urban greening to improve the soil porosity and ventilation, and withhold water and fertilizer.

2.Widely used in oxygen manufacturer and freezer as well as insulating layer in transporting liquid oxygen and hydrogen.

3.Used to filter liquor, oil, medicine, food and dirty water.

4.Used as filling and dilating agent in rubber, painter and plastic, etc.

5.Used as catalyst in explosives.

6.Used to absorb floating oil.

7.Mixed with different adhesive to make templates of different sizes and functions.

8.Used as in large volume as insulating layers in industrial smelting.

 

• Light weight Expanded Perlite does not crush fine stems or root systems, making it ideal for growing delicate plants such as lettuce.

• Coarse Horticultural Perlite provides aeration and drainage, yet retains and holds substantial amounts of water that it releases when needed.
 

 

• The water-holding ability of Expanded Perlite also increases the nutrient holding capacity when water-soluble fertilizers are used.
• Can be used by itself, mixed with topsoil or potting soil, or any other sterile media for drip or passive hydroponic systems.

1-3mm 2-4mm 3-6mm 4-8mm Expanded Perlite for Horticulture, Hydroponics, Agriculture

Perlite is not a trade name but a generic term for naturally occurring siliceous rock. The distinguishing feature which sets Perlite apart from other volcanic glasses is that when heated to a suitable point in its softening range, it expands from four to twenty times its original volume.

Horticultural Perlite can Improves Aeration and drainage.

It makes moisture and nutrients readily available to plants.

It has essentially neutral pH of 6.5 to 7.5.

It serves as an insulator to reduce extreme soil temperature fluctuations.

It Is organic and does not deteriorate.

It Is sterile and free of weeds and disease.

It is clean, odorless, lightweight, and safe to handle.

Character: Non-toxic, flavorless, lightweight, corrosion resisting, netural PH 6.5-7.5 etc.

Size: 100mesh, 200mesh, 0.15-1.18mm, 1-3mm, 2-4mm, 3-6mm, 4-8mm etc.

Horticultural Perlite.

Perlite is available in four sizes: fine, medium, and coarse, super coarse,

The fine grade is used as a soil amendment that promotes proper drainage and air retention.

 

Perlite is the perfect complement to soil, which can retain a lot of water. Perlite holds a film of air close to its surface and creates air pockets no matter how wet the growing medium is.

Perlite is a common soil amendment that helps stimulate plants growth. The increase in drainage helps prevent overwatering and
nutrient buildup, while increasing root penetration and oxygen availability.

 

Perlite is suited perfectly for clones.
New roots can penetrate the lightweight structure of perlite with little effort.

Faster root growth means a quicker turnaround from cutting to growing plant.
