Perlite

Perlite is a practical solution for gardeners looking to improve soil structure and root health in the Southwest Florida region.

Big Earth Landscape Supply offers horticultural perlite, an effective soil additive that assists in breaking up compacted earth, facilitating better drainage and root aeration. Our perlite is a natural mineral that is expanded through heating, creating a lightweight, sterile, and pH-neutral medium. It is especially suitable for the sandy soils of Southwest Florida, where it can help in retaining moisture and nutrients. Gardeners and commercial growers alike can benefit from incorporating our perlite into their soil mixtures to support healthy plant growth and enhance root systems.

Having trouble with drainage and soil compaction?

Perlite is an organic product used to assist with both of those issues. Add perlite to your potting mix to improve growing conditions, by adding optimal drainage, aeration, and room to grow. Perlite occurs naturally and is a porous additive that allows water to drain more readily and is preferred for plants that do not require a moist media, like cacti.
