Perlite

Agriperlite (Perlite) is a mineral material of volcanic origin, expanded at high temperatures, with an extremely lightweight, porous and sterile structure, ideal for improving aeration and lightness of substrates for both potted plants and open-ground cultivation.

Thanks to its physical structure, agriperlite does not compact, does not decompose and keeps the substrate permanently airy, promoting healthy root development.

Available in various package formats, it is suitable for both hobby and professional use.
