ble in various sizes to minimize waste. Perlite is a natural mineral that can be used to prevent water loss and soil compaction. It is perfect for seed starting, amending potting mixes, and rooting cuttings. After being heated at high temperatures, perlite can expand up to 15 times, creating a porous structure that can store both air and water. Perlite is excellent for improving the health of your lawn, promoting root development, and enhancing dry or sandy soils. Although it is a naturally occurring mineral in the form of amorphous volcanic glass, some new gardeners may mistake it for a lightweight material like styrofoam. Perlite is sometimes called expanded pyrite and has earned the nickname “volcanic popcorn”. Under a microscope, you can observe that it is porous. Adding perlite to your soil greatly improves airflow, which is crucial for plant roots to breathe and for good garden inhabitants like worms and beneficial nematodes. Because it is harder than the surrounding soil, perlite helps to slow down soil compaction, ensuring that your soil remains lightweight and fluffy.
