Perlite is lightweight and often used by gardeners to improve soil aeration, drainage and moisture retention. It comes in several types and particle sizes categorized by their intended use.
Horticultural Perlite Grades
For gardening and plant care, perlite is sorted by particle size, which affects aeration and water retention:
Expanded / Extra Chunky: Features large chunks that provide maximum drainage and airflow. It prevents soil compaction and suits large plants, cacti, and succulents.
Medium Grade: Offers a balanced mix of drainage and moisture retention. It works well for general potting mixes, young plants, and nursery containers.
Fine / Super Fine: Composed of tiny particles that hold more moisture. It is ideal for seed-starting trays and delicate seedlings.
