Perlite: main uses
What is perlite? Perlite is a lightweight granular material that's white in colour. It looks and feels like little bits of polystyrene but is actually made from expanded volcanic glass, heated to 1000°C until it 'pops' (like popcorn) to many times its original size. It's lightweight, sterile, and easy to handle, and is long-lasting.
