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.

FORMATS

Granulometry :

P1: 0.0 to 1mm (50g / liter +/- 10)

P2: 0.0 to 2mm (50g / liter +/- 12)

P3: 0.0 to 3mm (105g / liter +/- 15)

P40: 0.0 to 5.6mm (105g / liter +/- 15)

Container and handling: BIG BAG PAPER OR PLASTIC 100L / 8 TO 11 KILOS / 33 BAGS PER PALLET

High quality perlite: very little dust.

Made in France.

Made to order.

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.
