PVP Perlite 112 Litres

PVP horticultural perlite 112 L is a lightweight mineral grow medium designed to improve drainage, air-filled porosity and root-zone structure in soil and soilless substrate blends. This bulk bag is a practical choice for indoor gardens, greenhouse production, nurseries and commercial cultivation facilities.

Expanded perlite creates pore space around developing roots without adding fertilizer salts to the growing medium. Blend it with peat, coco coir or potting soil to support more consistent drainage and help reduce the compaction associated with dense generic media.

Key Features & Grower Benefits

• Improved root-zone aeration: Porous granules create air space in growing media, supporting healthy root development and reducing dense, waterlogged conditions.
• Faster, more uniform drainage: Helps excess irrigation move through containers while maintaining a loose substrate structure.
• Stable mineral composition: Expanded horticultural perlite resists decomposition and compaction better than many organic aeration materials.
• Easy custom blending: The lightweight granules mix readily with peat moss, coco coir, potting soil and other horticultural substrates.
• Commercial bulk format: The 112 L bag provides ample material for multiple containers, raised beds or larger substrate-batching projects.

Recommended Applications

PVP Perlite is suitable for container gardens inside grow tents, nursery pots in commercial greenhouses, propagation areas and substrate preparation in vertical farms. It can be incorporated into media beneath trellised tomatoes, cucumbers and other vining crops, as well as flowering plants, herbs, vegetables and ornamentals.

Use it to loosen heavy potting mixes, increase the air space in peat- or coco-based substrates and improve drainage in containers. The ideal blending ratio depends on the crop, irrigation frequency, container size and desired moisture retention. Perlite is a physical amendment rather than a fertilizer, so plants still require an appropriate nutrient program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can PVP Perlite be reused?
A: Perlite can sometimes be recovered and reused, but spent material may carry roots, salts or crop pathogens. Sanitize it according to facility hygiene protocols and discard granules that have broken down; fresh perlite offers the most consistent performance.

Q: Does this perlite supply plant nutrients?
A: No. Perlite primarily improves substrate aeration, drainage and physical structure. Pair it with a suitable fertilizer or hydroponic nutrient program for the crop being grown.
