B&Q

Westland Gro-Sure Perlite is a premium, naturally occurring volcanic rock amendment engineered to optimize the physical structure of your garden soil and potting mediums. Through specialized high-temperature processing, the raw volcanic mineral expands into white, ultra-lightweight granules packed with microscopic air pockets.By blending this high-grade perlite into your standard compost, you drastically improve the drainage dynamics of containers, hanging baskets, and indoor houseplant pots. This open structural framework allows water to glide through freely while trapping essential oxygen around the root architecture, making it an indispensable asset for seed sowing, delicate potting on, and successful cutting propagation.How to Use1. Setup: Put on protective gardening gloves, open the pouch, and add up to 1 litre of clean water directly into the bag to dampen the granules and completely eliminate airborne dust before handling.2. Rooting Cuttings: For soft stem and leaf cuttings, blend an equal 1:1 mixture of compost and perlite; for harder or more fragile cuttings, increase the ratio to 2 parts perlite and 1 part compost.3. Potting On: Mix 25% perlite thoroughly into your all-purpose compost to create a highly aerated planting medium, then firm it gently around the root ball of your transplanted seedlings.4. Clean / Safety: Always clear away any stray granules from garden surfaces, seal the bag tightly with the remaining product, and wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
