1. Vitreous rock
Perlite is lava produced after volcanic eruption. After the transition from high temperature to low temperature, it is a kind of rock with a glass surface. The structure of this rock is like a pearl crack structure, so it is called perlite.
2. Absorb water
Perlite has an arc surface with cracks, which can absorb twice as much water as the rock itself. Therefore, perlite can be mixed into the soil to improve the water absorption and drainage capacity of the soil and prevent the root rot of the basin soil due to accumulated water.
3. improving soil
perlite can improve the soil, and adding perlite to the soil can increase the gaps between the soils and enable plants to take root and sprout. At the same time, the cracks of perlite have adsorption capacity, which can store fungicides and pesticides in the soil to prevent plants from producing diseases and insect pests.
