PERLITE

Soil improvement

Perlite is a volcanic rock in the form of white micro-beads, light and very aerated. This natural material is capable of absorbing water in order to gradually restore it to the plant, on the principle of a micro-reserve.

​

Neutral and inert material, perlite has no influence on the pH of the earth.

​

Our perlite is of excellent quality and does not contain any trace of asbestos.

COMPATIBLE PLANTATIONS

FLORAL SPECIES

​

All flowers.

​

Can be used both as a substrate in its own right or as a mixture with the potting soil.

VEGETABLE SPECIES

​

All vegetable, fruit and aromatic plants, from plant to harvest as a soil improvement mixed with the substrate or as a surfacing.

​

COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES VERSUS OTHER GROWING SUBSTRATES

RETURNS AND SAVINGS

​

Guarantees a constant and optimal hygrometric level for the development of the plant. Allows water savings, reduces the frequency of watering and allows particularly easy rehydration.

​

Avoids the suffocation of plants and promotes oxygen uptake.

​

Fixes nutrients and redistributes them constantly and almost completely (acts as a reservoir of food). Gain in resources and productivity.

​

Insulating power, allows both to maintain a constant and optimal temperature, to retain humidity uniformly and to promote the circulation of oxygen without capturing it (inert substrate).

​

Neutral pH, does not affect the balance of plants.

​

Completely sterile (no risk of infection by fungus, bacteria or insects) due to the substrate.

​

EASE OF USE

​

Wide fields of application, very high flexibility (mixing, amendment, substrate only, surfacing).

​

Lighter than other substrates, easier handling

​

Ready to use instantly.

​

Mechanical stability, avoids settling due to watering and time.

​

Made to order: great flexibility of orders.
