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.
