Aerolite™
Premium Horticultural Perlite
Aerolite is a sterile growing media that promotes superior plant growth by providing the perfect balance of oxygen and moisture retention when used for hydroponics and soil. (coarse screened for hortilculture)
Applications
Used alone or blended with Ultrapeat and/or Lecastone for hydroponic applications, Aerolite can deliver up to 7% increases in tomato production when compared to rockwool and is rapidly replacing rockwool use in commercial greenhouses worldwide. In fact, we've had such good results and reports from the field that we now ship every Smartgarden and Autopot Systems with the combination of Aerolite and Ultrapeat growing media.
When used as an amendment for potting and outdoor soils, it lends the perfect balance of aeration and moisture retention to dry and sandy soils and loosens over compaction too - all of which promote superior growth.
Improves Aeration and drainage
Perlite makes moisture, oxygen and nutrients readily available to plants. Because of the unique shape of each particle, plus its permanency, moisture and nutrients can cling to the crevices until the plant needs them, while the granular quality provides quick drainage of excess moisture and allows space for oxygen - vital for healthy plant growth
