When you open up a bag of commercial potting mix, you expect to see little white specks in it without really questioning why they’re there. But what is perlite, really? What is perlite made of? What does it do for the soil, and is there a reason to add more?

Here, we’ll explore the world of horticultural perlite, and shed some light on the best ways to put it to use for you.

  1. A bit late to the party, but I've got an inquiry.

    I have an issue of having a very heavy clay soil in my land. I'm looking for ways to improve it, so that I can grow a variety of crops. Would adding perlite to the clay be a viable solution?

    To elaborate, I've done some manual soil testing, and there is very little sand in the soil here. The clay content is heavy, anywhere between 70% to 90% or more. I have a lot of perlite on hand, but I'm unsure whether mixing it with such a heavy clay soil will react poorly, in ways that might not be beneficial to the plants.

  3. well… it's now 2021, more than four years after this video was made. i just wanted to offer a pat on the back for your wealth of knowledge. it's very very rare these days to see any information video, blog, vlog or whatever whereby the video doesn't have a small edit point every 30 seconds or more. you've delivered nearly five minutes of video in one take without endless ummms and ahhhhs and that is very very impressive. you clearly know your stuff.

  4. You just got a new subscriber! Thank you very much. I'm new to plants, I have a few and like to take care of them, however I know I could do it better by using perlite/vermiculita. Do you recommend mixing perlite and soil when it comes to Aloe Vera or Snake plants? And if so, do you just mix half and half? Thank you!

  6. These are my favorite gardening videos bc they're succinct while still being extremely informative…& this has nothing to do with the favorite-ness or helpfulness but god damn I've been watching these for awhile & I just gotta say it: this guy is ridiculously attractive like wtf how dare you HAHAHAHA like come ON.
