Organic Perlite - Made in USA for Indoor/Outdoor Plants & Organic Gardens - Horticultural Soil Amendment Additive Conditioner Grow Media for Succulents • Orchids and More! (8 Liters Premium Grade)

Small pieces! And more dusty than usual. But hey it does the job!

If you’re wondering if there’s a reason to spend more on this as opposed to standard Miracle Grow Perlite, I would say yes. It’s doesn’t create a giant cloud of toxic particles while mixing (although there still is some, so wearing a mask is advised). The consistency is more substantial. More will remain as solid substrate in the soil mix; whereas you’ll lose a portion of the Miracle Grow via powder production. I saw that some reviewers didn’t feel this was “course.” I respectfully disagree; although I’m sure there are courser options available out there.The other aspect I appreciate is that this doesn’t have any fertilizer added to it. Some plants don’t tolerate synthetic fertilizer well, such as Calathea. I stick to worm castings, both as a top soil or as a soil component for repotting.I used the last of this to repot my Calathea Dottie. I’ve used it on several other types of Calathea, including some that are rumored to be “highly picky,” and they all seem to love it.Note: Would prefer recyclable or biodegradable packaging and willing it pay a little extra for it.

Does the job

I needed pearlite fast delivery, and this was pearlite fast delivery.The quality and the size of the pearlite is fine. The packaging is a blank plastic mailer with no labeling or name. My photo is after I wrote on the envelope in Sharpie, and placed in a larger bag because the only way you can open it without spilling everywhere. It’s pricey pearlite without any retail packaging.If you need pearlite fast and this is your only option, the plants aren’t going to care that you were inconvenienced, so order the pearlite. If you have a little more time, pass this one by for a more standard choice.

Good soil and drainage are essential for a healthy plant. This is why I always make sure to add extra perlite to my soil mix to assists with extra drainage and aeration. I’ve bought this brand several times and I keep getting it because I love the larger size. I have bought other brands and I notice that it’s smaller, like the one you normally see in bags of commercial soil. I like to add plenty and then top off as needed in the future.. Perlite is a must-have for any plant potting project, and this one is great quality. Definitely one of my favorite products. All my plants do so well with it, and I can no longer go back to the smaller pieces. If this review helped you in any way, please click on ‘helpful’ so I know.

I have bought numerous perlite products and this one is the best by far. The perlite is coarse and chunky how it is supposed to be. I have bought other companies perlite that was so small it was like the size of dipn dots. The people complaining im assuming want boulder size perlite and that is not practical. The product is coarse and bigger then any other i have encountered.

More dust than I would prefer but as always…another fine product

good size bag. about 1/2 of it is in big enough pieces that i can add to my orchid mix. the other half was smaller and i had to add it to potting soil instead of using it for orchids. a lot of work sifting it acquire the big pieces and naturally dusty. i still would buy it again.
