Product Details

BARK UNLIMITED Perlite 15dm³

Product Description

The Bark Unlimited Perlite 15dm³ is a lightweight, volcanic-derived growing medium additive designed to significantly improve soil aeration, drainage, and root oxygenation. It is widely used in horticulture to prevent soil compaction and to create optimal growing conditions for both indoor and outdoor plants.

Perlite consists of expanded volcanic glass that has been heat-treated to form porous, sterile granules. These particles hold small amounts of moisture on their surface while maintaining large air spaces within the soil, ensuring roots receive consistent oxygen flow and reducing the risk of root rot.

This product is an essential component in custom potting mixes, propagation systems, and water-sensitive plant care, especially in South African gardening conditions where drainage efficiency is critical.
