Plagron Perlite 10L

Plagron Perlite 10L is a lightweight, sterile growing additive used to improve aeration, drainage, and root development in soil and coco-based growing media. Produced by expanding volcanic rock at high temperatures, perlite offers a neutral pH and contains no nutrients, making it ideal for custom media blending.

The porous structure of Plagron Perlite allows optimal oxygen access to plant roots, promoting faster growth and preventing water retention issues such as root rot. It’s especially useful in heavy soil mixes or for growers looking to increase oxygenation in hydroponic and organic setups.
