The particle size of this perlite is much larger than average. If you break a typical Styrofoam packing peanut into fourths you will approximate the size of a typical chunk of this perlite. Some of the pieces in a bag of this product will be smaller. The photo shows an unbroken Styrofoam packing peanut on the left and one on the right for size comparison.
Growers of plants that need a very loose open soil like to incorporate this extra coarse perlite into their potting mix. It is also very useful for lining the bottom of the pot for plants that require exceptionally good drainage such as streptocarpus. This 9 quart bag will fill approximately thirty 4” squatty pots.
