Serbajadi Perlite is a natural soil amendment made from expanded volcanic glass and silica that dramatically improves drainage and aeration in any potting mix or garden soil. Perfect for plants that hate "wet feet," perlite creates the ideal balance of moisture retention and drainage that promotes healthy root development.

Why Choose Serbajadi Perlite?

• Superior Drainage & Aeration – Porous structure improves soil structure, allowing excess water to drain while maintaining healthy air circulation around roots.
• Promotes Healthy Root Growth – Creates the perfect balance of moisture and oxygen that roots need to develop strongly.
• Prevents Soil Compaction – Keeps potting mixes loose and fluffy, preventing the heavy, waterlogged conditions that cause root rot.
• 100% Natural & Non-Toxic – Made from volcanic glass, completely safe for all plants, people, and pets.
• Environmentally Friendly – Biodegradable and eco-conscious choice for sustainable gardening.
• Long-Lasting Performance – Doesn't break down easily, providing lasting soil improvement for years.
• Lightweight – Much lighter than soil, making pots easier to move and handle.

Ideal For:

Cacti, succulents, aroids (monstera, philodendron, alocasia), caladium, seed starting mixes, potting mixes, container plants, hydroponics, plants sensitive to overwatering, and any soil that needs improved drainage and aeration.

How To Use

• Soil Amendment: Mix perlite into potting soil at 10-30% ratio (more for plants needing excellent drainage like succulents) to improve structure and prevent compaction.
• Seed Starting: Combine with Serbajadi Seed Starter to create a lightweight, well-draining medium perfect for germinating seeds.
• Hydroponics: Use as a standalone growing medium in hydroponic systems, providing excellent support and drainage for plant roots.
• Top Dressing: Apply a thin layer on the soil surface of potted plants to keep the top layer loose and improve drainage.

Pro Tip: For cacti and succulents, mix up to 50% perlite with your potting soil for excellent drainage. When handling perlite, consider wearing a dust mask as the fine particles can be irritating to the respiratory system. Lightly misting the perlite before mixing can help reduce dust!
