Miracle-Gro Perlite, 8 qt., Improves Drainage and Aeration in Potting Mixes

Delivered right to my door %26 my plants are thriving. I repotted with perlite mixed with organic potting soil.

Keep it wet or moist as you use the perlite, easy to handle, light in weight, of course, love this product, will use it again this growing season. Let's see how hot it can get hot.

I had been trying to propagate plants by rooting them in potting soil and was only getting 30% of my cuttings to root. I learned about successful propagation using Perlite and decided to give Perlite a try. The success of my cuttings went up to 90%. Almost every cutting rooted. Now I have to see how they do in soil, but I’m thinking I will have success. I would definitely try Perlite for propagating plants.

Perlite is a Necessity for growing vegetables in pots. It helps with proper drainage so your vegetables will flourish without rotting at the roots. Without proper drainage your hard work is just a waste of time!

Started all my container gardening, front porch mini " Victory Garden " and herb garden in seed starter and perlite..works great.

This is an amazing way to save your plants or growing them, it works amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This perlite was EXACTLY what I needed. I was able to mix it in with my other potting soil mediums to ensure drainage and fertilization! I also am excited to try and use it for propagating plants - it shows how on the back of the package!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting to try this product instead of rocks at the bottom of my pots, and my plat is doing great 2 weeks later! Allowing drainage after watering is always important with potted plants and this product makes it easy. No odor, easy pour and a lightweight product. A new necessity for my outdoor potted plants!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Miracle-Gro Perlite is a widely used soil designed to improve aeration and drainage in potting mixes.. This potting mix is for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The product consists of lightweight, white volcanic glass particles that have been preventing soil compaction. One of its biggest strengths is how noticeably it improves soil structure… This does have a slight smell to it.. When mixed into dense potting soil, Miracle-Gro Perlite helps create air pockets that allow roots to breathe and grow more freely… This is especially beneficial for plants that are sensitive to overwatering, such as succulents, herbs, and many houseplants. It also works well in seed-starting mixes, where proper drainage and light texture are critical.. This is also a value for for money and most all plants can be planted in this! The packaging does come in bag form so it can be a mess!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked very well with my green plants that do not have to have a lot of water. They let them drain very well and they seem to help a lot! It is very light weight and does not have a strong scent.
