Perlite (Regular) 2L from DH Garden Centre is a premium horticultural-grade growing medium made from naturally occurring volcanic glass.
When heated to over 900°C, it expands into lightweight, porous granules filled with millions of microscopic air pockets.
This unique structure dramatically improves drainage and aeration in your potting mix, helping prevent root rot — one of the most common problems for indoor gardeners in Canada.
Key Benefits
- • Creates millions of air pockets for superior root oxygenation and faster growth
- • Excellent drainage prevents overwatering and root rot, especially during long Canadian winters
- • Naturally sterile and pH neutral (7.0) — completely safe for all plants including edibles
- • Extremely lightweight and reusable after rinsing
