Perlite: Quick Overview
SYBASoil perlite is a lightweight expanded volcanic glass used to open dense substrate, improve drainage, and increase oxygen around roots without adding nutrients or breaking down over time. It holds a thin film of water on each particle while still letting excess drain away, which is why it shows up in so many aroid, succulent, propagation, and bonsai recipes. Mixed into heavy compost, it quickly makes the structure looser and easier for roots to colonise. A simple but essential amendment for growers who build custom soils or want to correct mixes that stay wet too long around sensitive roots.
