What is agro perlite?
Agro perlite is expanded perlite adapted for agriculture and horticulture. A mineral of natural volcanic origin that, when heated to high temperatures, expands into lightweight, porous granules. Thanks to this structure, agro perlite is widely used as a growing medium component.
Mixed with peat, coco coir or other substrates, agro perlite improves the medium's structure, reduces compaction and ensures better air and moisture access to the root zone. This is especially important in intensive cultivation, where the root system directly determines growth and yield.
Agro perlite is chemically neutral, sterile, does not rot or decompose, so it retains its properties for a long time. As an expanded perlite manufacturer and supplier in Lithuania, we deliver wholesale — in different fractions according to the growing method and customer needs.
