Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How much perlite should I mix with soil?

A: For most plants, a ratio of 1 part perlite to 3-4 parts potting soil is recommended. For plants requiring extra drainage, such as succulents or cacti, you can increase the perlite ratio to 1:1 or 1:2.

Q: Is perlite reusable?

A: While perlite can be cleaned and reused, it's generally not recommended for long-term use as it can break down over time and harbor pathogens. For best results and plant health, use fresh perlite with each new potting mix.
