Perlite from Uni-Gro

Uni-Gro Premium Perlite is a lightweight mineral of porous granules used in container soil mixes for enhancing the retention of moisture and air. Perlite is also used as a medium for seed planting and root cuttings. Contains 100% Premium Perlite.

Soil Mixes:

To use Uni-Gro Premium Perlite in a soil mix, incorporate 1/3 perlite to 2/3 soil. The rate of application will vary depending on how compact or heavy the soil is. Heavy clay soils will take a larger percentage of perlite than sandy loam soils.

Seed Starting:

  1. Select a clean seed flat, tray, or spot and fill with Uni-Gro Premium Perlite and moisten it with lukewarm water.
  2. Sow seeds directly into the perlite per the manufacturer's recommendations on the seed packet.
  3. Place the flat, tray, or pot in a warm, well lit area and moisten frequently.
  4. Seedlings may be transplanted directly into the garden or a larger container until it has develops its second set of leaves or has attained a height of 4-6 inches.

Root Cuttings:

  1. Select a clean seed flat, tray, or pot and fill with Uni-Gro Premium Perlite and moisten it with lukewarm water.
  2. Take a 2 inch cutting from the parent plant and moisten the cut tip with water. Dip the cut end into a rooting hormone and plant the treated cut end in the prepared container.
  3. Place the container in a warm, well lit area and moisten it frequently.
  4. Within weeks, the cutting will develop roots of its own and will eventually require transplanting into a larger container.

  • Contains 4 quarts of perlite

"No matter what I am at Bath for, there are always helpful employees to help me find what I need or tips on how to care for indoor or outdoor plants. They also carry pots, trellises, soil, and interesting plants of all kinds! I was also pleasantly surprised to find compost worms available for purchase without a special preorder. Thank you for being awesome!"
