Perlite 4L is the golden mean if you have spring transplanting ahead of you.
This is sufficient for several large pots or window boxes.
Perlite acts like a ‘micro-sponge’ that absorbs excess water and releases it when the plant needs it, while preventing root rot.
Manual
- It is advisable to mix with plant growth soil in a ratio of 1:4.
Which to choose: Perlite or Vermiculite?
-
Perlite: choose this if you need more air and fast drainage (e.g., cacti).
-
Vermiculite: choose this if you need more moisture and nutrient retention (e.g., seedlings and tropical plants).
