About this item
Product details
Perlite is a naturally occurring, volcanic rock. When furnaced at high temperatures, perlite "pops" and expands 7 to 15 times its original volume. The resulting lightweight particles are made up of microscopic spheres with a porous, broken surface that promotes plant growth. This allows aeration and drainage of the root system and provides holding capacity for water and nutrients. Improves soil structure, eliminates soil crusting and compacting, increases water holding capacity and fertilizer retention, improves drainage and aeration, provides uniform growing media, produces denser root structure, propagation of seedlings and cuttings, soil conditioning, hydroponics, roof deck gardens and eco-roofs, nursery stock and hanging baskets, turf enhancement, newly planted trees and plants. As a family owned business based out of California and located in the Bay Area, we take tremendous pride in doing everything possible. Our perlite products are second to none due to the use of clean East Bay Mudd water in our products for cooling and dust control. Non- traceable free silica (unlike many other Perlite products in the market). In other words, we get it there on time.

I needed more than a little bit of perlite for some fruit trees I wanted to plant and this looked like a good deal. It was delivered in good shape and was just what I needed, with leftovers. Medium sized and clean, it was a good buy. I'll get this again if I need more, it's a better deal than the smaller bags.

Works great for indoor plants
I have too many indoor plants to be fussing around with going to the hardware store every month for another 8qt bag of perlite. Fortunately, we live in a timeline now where I can buy a hilariously humongous bag of perlite from my couch for dirt cheap. I have a 50 pound bag of perlite in my garage, lol. The perlite itself seems to be of a larger grade than most perlite you get from the gardening center, but for my purposes (simply adding drainage to my soil for my indoor plants), this works just fine. The quality seems to be pretty good, too; my plants seem quite happy! I don't know if I'll ever run out of perlite for as long as I live now, but if I do, I'd definitely buy this again!

Perfect size for potting mix
I use this to make my own potting mix. It's the perfect size for potting mix and is consistent throughout the whole bag with almost no crushed pieces even at the very bottom of the bag. I have gone through 2-4 cubic foot bags of this and both were excellent!
