- It has a neutral pH level
- It contains no toxic chemicals and is made from naturally occurring compounds found in soil
- It can retain some amount of water while allowing the rest to drain away
- In Soil Mixes: you can combine perlite, loam, and peat moss in equal measures. In pots, it keeps everything loose, aerated and well draining.On the surface:Â perlite can be scattered on the surface of the soil as well, where it acts as a wicking agent. It will gradually work down into the soil, improving drainage.For root cuttings:Â it encourages root growth much better than just plain water. You can place your starting seeds or cuttings in an air-filled Ziploc bag contained moistened perlite for several weeks.
