Expanded Perlite - 5 Lt. - Al.Fe

Al.Fe Expanded Perlite for flowering plants, vegetable gardens, and gardens. When mixed with soil, it makes it softer and more aerated, with a high capacity for water drainage, facilitating root development of crops.
Granulometry: 2 – 5 mm, pH: 6.5 – 7.5

Perlite is a volcanic rock that expands its volume up to 20 times its original size when subjected to high temperatures. The structure of the granules is characterized by the presence of both open and closed porosity. The simultaneous presence of these characteristics gives the rock a high breathability while also providing significant water impermeability at the core of the granule. Expanded perlite is a stable and chemically inert product, compatible with the criteria of eco-sustainability and bioarchitecture (ANAB-ICEA certification). Perlite, thanks to its chemical-physical characteristics, is an excellent inorganic matrix for: soil mixtures, cuttings, lightening containers, preparing mixtures for cubes, propagation of flowering plants, garden and vegetable plants, and pricking out (transferring young seedlings grown from seed from a pot or seed tray to larger containers). Perlite, when mixed with soil, improves the physical characteristics of the substrate, making it softer and more aerated, with a high capacity for water drainage, facilitating root development of crops.
