Product Information

This allows air and water to reach roots aiding nutrient uptake and improving plant health and growth.

In turn, perlite helps to regulate soil moisture for growing seeds, cuttings and established plants either directly in the ground or in pots. Expanded Perlite is suitable for a range of landscaping applications such as green roof construction, golf green renovation and construction, planters, drainage and reduction.

It has excellent thermal insulation properties over an extremely wide temperature range from cryogenics at minus 273°C (absolute zero) up to refractory applications at over 1000°C. It also has a highly adsorbent surface and a very low bulk density, which makes it an ideal carrier or low cost filler for many compound formulations.

Largely native to Australia, Eucalyptus are yet another example of plant species that is both beautiful in the residental landscape, and practical in the commercial one. Fast growing, with short, fine fibres in the wood make it suitable for fine-grade paper, as well as tissue paper and high quality coated papers. Eucalyptus oil is sought after as an industrial solvent, antiseptic, deodoriser, a natural insect repellant, and in small amounts as a food supplements. The wood is used in the crafting of musical instruments, most notably the Didgeridoo, and most of the rest of any Eucalyptus tree can be used in the making of dyes. All of this is, of course, in addition to the beauty of the foliage and the flowers that make Eucalyptus one of the most recognizable trees in Australia. So I used sharp sand. The pots were incredibly heavy, and I thought they must be getting far too wet under the mist propagator, but the cuttings rooted well. On potting on the compost is very fine - the sand has intermingled with the multi purpose to create a very fine media (maybe I rubbed it together well when mixing it, I can't remember). So it does seem to have done a good job. Dunno if I will damage more roots at potting on though - the mix doesn't fall off the roots as easily as Perlite.
