Description
Perlite is a lightweight granular material that’s white in colour. It looks and feels like little bits of polystyrene but is actually made from expanded volcanic glass, heated to 1000°C until it ‘pops’ (like popcorn) to many times its original size. It’s lightweight, sterile, and easy to handle, and is long-lasting. It’s neither alkaline nor acidic. Perlite’s expanded nature makes it extremely porous, so it can absorb water, but it also improves drainage, so is ideal to mix into compost to ensure water drains freely. Perlite is particularly useful in plant propagation, including taking cuttings and sowing seeds. Other materials that perform similar functions are vermiculite, grit and sharp sand.
Function:
• Aid drainage.
• Use when taking cuttings (Perlite can aid water retention in compost, which can help improve the chances of your cuttings taking root)
• Use in seed sowing (A fine layer of perlite is also excellent for covering seed that needs light to germinate)
Note： Perlite is dusty, so take care to avoid inhaling the dust. Dampen with water before using it. If using a whole bag of perlite in one go, pour a couple of litres of water into the bag, seal the top and shake it, then let it soak for quarter of an hour before using.
珍珠岩是珍珠岩矿砂经预热,瞬时高温焙烧体积膨胀10-30倍膨胀后制成的一种内部为蜂窝状结构的白色颗粒状的非金属矿产品材料。除了作为辅料用于盆栽，珍珠岩还可以用于一些植物的扦插、育种
功效：
1）保水、透气。珍珠岩的吸水量可以达到自身的2-3倍。与土壤混合能够形成空隙提高透气能力。
2）轻质、多孔、隔热。多孔的结构，让它天生自带控温光环，削弱了温度变化对植物根系的破坏，也起到了控制肥效和肥度的作用。
3）利于植物根系生长。产品的多孔性极大促进了植物的须根系生长和发育，对植物根系的固定有促进作用。
4）无毒无害。其化学性质稳定，pH中性，不会对植物造成伤害。不含有机质，不溶于水，霉菌无法在其上生存，形成病害隔离带，能够抑制病害大面积蔓延。
注意事项:
1）.珍珠岩易粉末化，使用时避免揉、捏。虽然其粉末无毒，但使用时还是要避免吸入体内；
2）.由于其质地较轻，且浇水容易上浮，可用塑料薄膜等，防止被风吹走；
3）.刚购买的珍珠岩含有很多粉末，使用前用清水冲洗；
4）.珍珠岩不适合给喜欢碱性的花卉做基质，适合给耐旱不耐涝的植株使用，不适合给喜欢潮湿环境下生长的植株使用；
5）.与其他土壤搭配不宜过量，可按照4:1的比例混合珍珠岩
