Lightweight and porous, it prevents soil compaction, promotes healthy root development, and reduces risks of root diseases, making it an essential upgrade for professional and hobbyist gardeners alike. ## Description Product Description Perlite is used in potting mixes and as a stand-alone soilless medium for plant rooting. It is ph neutral (around 7) and completely sterile, which is critical for rooting plant cuttings. When used alone, it provides perfect aeration and holds the right amount of moisture. Perlite can hold three to four times its weight in water, but never becomes soggy. And unlike soil or organic matter, it never disintegrates. Perlite is also used with hydroponic systems world wide, with superior crop production. When used in potting soil mixtures, perlite lightens the mixture and improves aeration and drainage. This is especially useful for large container plantings. The newest use of perlite is in rooftop gardens. This makes sense, since perlite is proven to grow healthy, viable plants. The main limiting factor for rooftop gardens is weight. Using perlite over other soil mixtures reduces the weight dramatically, by more than half, allowing gardens to thrive in cities where garden space is virtually non-existent. The added benefit is the green roof also reduces heat gain inside the building. Plant nurseries are also on the perlite band wagon. With shipping costs based on weight, using perlite reduces these costs without sacrificing plant health on long trips. Aside from its use as a soil amendment or replacement, perlite is used as a carrier for herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Perlite is also used to pellitize seeds for easier planting. Make Potting Soil Making your own potting soil, perlite is one of the most used components in the industry for the above reasons. It’s lightweight, and easy to blend into coco peat or other water-retaining ingredients (Add 1 portion of perlite in to 20 portion of expanded coco peat in litres ratio) Use in Hydroponics Perlite uses in hydroponics is very popular nowadays. In case you have never heard about hydroponics, this is a method of growing plants in an enclosed growing space, a controlled environment, and with very little water. As perlite can hold a bit of moisture it is an excellent growing medium under these conditions. Perlite is used in hydroponics mainly to propagate plants. As roots start to grow in search of a water source, a well-draining media like coarse perlite forces them to grow rapidly. It prevents plant roots against rot. Application Suggested mix for nurserymen who prefer some soil in their planter mix. 1/3 Casa De Amor Perlite, 1/3 Casa De Amor Peat Moss, 1/3 Clean soil plus nutrients. Subsequent feeding may be with each watering or at two-week intervals. Planters and containers with Perlite or with very high percentages of perlite are also possible for growing flowers, vegetables and even plants! Know about Perlite What is Perlite? Perlite is actually a generic term that we use for naturally occurring siliceous amorphic volcanic rock. But unlike other volcanic glasses, if you heat them above a point (8000-9000 C), they expand up to 20 times of its original volume. Perlite helps minimize temperature fluctuations in the soil and has a neutral pH level. While it does retain moisture, it does not get soggy. It also does not pose any type of fire hazard or toxicity and keeps the soil free from disease, weeds, and insects. What is Perlite Made of? As Perlite is an amorphic volcanic glass, it is mostly made of silica or SiO2 (about 70-75%). Other than you will also find a mixture of Aluminum Oxide or Al2O3, and Oxides of Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Magnesium, and Calcium, and moisture. Perlite softens when it reaches temperatures of 850–900 Β°C (1,560–1,650 Β°F). Water trapped in the structure of the material vaporizes and escapes. How to Make Perlite? Perlite is a natural volcanic glass. These tend to have more water in them than other types. Nature’s perlite is grey or black in color & is very dense and heavy. The water that was trapped inside the rock vaporizes & tries to escape. As a result, the rock expands more than 10 times their initial size. This expansion of perlite also creates its most distinguishing feature; its unique white color. BENEFITS OF PERLITE Good for potting mixes & as a stand-alone soilless medium. Perlite produces nearly immediate lightening of soil that has gotten too heavy. Perlite is organic and helps lower the environmental impact in sustainable gardening. Provides perfect aeration, holds the right amount of moisture,can hold 3-4 times its weight in water Perlite is also used with hydroponic systems world wide, with superior crop production.

Review: Good quality perlite - I received the product today & find it better than Ugaoo perlite which I used previously, that was very powdery & dusty. This brand perlite is much better; no dust, or powder in it. Happy with this brand & will perhaps purchase this again. Review: Good quality - Received fairly good sized pieces with a little powder at the bottom of the bag. So far so good. I've used it in the soil and am happy with the results. The price is a bit high though. ## Features - πŸ’¨ Lightweight & Aeration: Enhances soil aeration and drainage, ensuring roots get ample oxygen for healthier plant growth. - 🌊 Moisture Retention: Absorbs and releases water efficiently, providing consistent moisture to plants without waterlogging. - 🌿 Root Health: Prevents soil compaction, allowing roots to spread easily and grow robustly. - πŸ›‘οΈ Disease Resistance: Reduces the risk of root rot and fungal infections by improving soil structure and drainage. - ♻️ Versatile Usage: Ideal for seed starting, potting mixes, hydroponics, and improving garden soil quality. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07RTWN45L | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,847 in Garden & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Garden & Outdoors ) #3 in Perlit | | Brand | Casa De Amor | | Country of Publication | India | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,924 Reviews | | Item Type Name | Perlite | | Item Weight | 1170 Grams | | Manufacturer | Casa De Amor | | Manufacturer Part Number | Perlite1 | | Model Number | Casa Perlite | | Net Quantity | 1000 Grams | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | Casa De Amor, support@casadeamor.in | +91-7223963311 | | Style | Perlite | | Unit Count | 1000 Grams | | Volume | 1000 Millilitres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Casa De Amor - **Style:** Perlite - **Item Weight:** 1170 Grams ## Images ![Casa De Amor Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Gardening Soil Conditioner - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WVJqh90bL.jpg) ![Casa De Amor Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Gardening Soil Conditioner - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bO3he1DHL.jpg) ![Casa De Amor Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Gardening Soil Conditioner - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WOY9JJUuL.jpg) ![Casa De Amor Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Gardening Soil Conditioner - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FV-qZK3oL.jpg) ![Casa De Amor Perlite for Hydroponics & Horticulture Gardening Soil Conditioner - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NN3okW4FL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality perlite *by G***A on 5 March 2026* I received the product today & find it better than Ugaoo perlite which I used previously, that was very powdery & dusty.
