Description & Specs

Brunnings 5L Perlite is a lightweight volcanic rock used to improve soil aeration and moisture retention. Mixed through potting mix or garden soil, perlite creates air pockets that help water move freely and stop roots becoming waterlogged, making it a popular choice for potting, propagation and hydroponics.

  • Volume: 5L
  • Material: perlite (volcanic rock)
  • Use: potting, propagation, hydroponics

When you blend perlite with compost or garden soil it opens up the mix so roots get the air and moisture they need without sitting in water. Gardeners often ask about the ratio of potting soil to perlite; a common approach is to add perlite to your mix to improve drainage and aeration, adjusting to suit moisture-loving or free-draining plants. The 5L bag is handy for repotting and raising cuttings.
