Growers Own Perlite 50L

Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 28 and October 30.
The Growers Own Perlite 50L is designed for incorporating into suitable growing-media mixes to increase air-filled porosity and modify drainage.
Perlite is a lightweight mineral growing-media component commonly used to alter the physical properties of a substrate. The appropriate inclusion rate depends on the crop, base medium, container, irrigation strategy and production conditions.
Key benefits
- Product type: Horticultural Perlite
- Designed for incorporating into suitable growing-media mixes to increase air-filled porosity and modify drainage
- Stated size/capacity: 50L
- Suitable for horticultural use where appropriate
Using perlite in growing media
Blend perlite evenly through a compatible substrate where increased aeration or a change in drainage behaviour is required. Avoid assuming one fixed percentage suits every crop: container depth, peat/coir content, irrigation frequency and crop water demand all affect the ideal physical structure.
Handle dry perlite carefully to minimise airborne dust. Lightly damping material before mixing can help where appropriate.
Root-zone management
Adding perlite changes how water and air occupy pore spaces in the growing medium. Monitor irrigation after changing a mix because a substrate with more perlite may wet and dry differently from the original formulation.
Good working practice
Keep equipment and materials clean and clearly identified. Follow the instructions for any fertiliser, additive or treatment being prepared and use appropriate PPE where required by the product label or workplace assessment.
Storage & maintenance
Store the product clean, dry and protected from damage. Electronic meters should be maintained according to their manufacturer instructions; measuring equipment should be replaced if markings or condition no longer allow reliable use.

Growers Own Perlite 50L FAQs
How should it be used?
Follow the product instructions and use it only for compatible horticultural applications.
How should it be stored?
Keep it clean, dry and protected from physical damage or contamination.
Should equipment be cleaned between uses?
Yes where appropriate, particularly when moving between different solutions or materials.
Can one measurement represent every part of a crop or growing area?
Not necessarily. Use representative sampling where conditions may vary.
When should the product be replaced?
Replace damaged equipment or material that can no longer be used reliably for its intended purpose.
Does this replace crop-specific guidance?
No. Use measurements or growing-media components alongside the requirements of the crop and production system.
What should I do if a reading or result looks wrong?
Repeat the measurement or check the equipment and method before making significant adjustments.
