Perlite is a naturally occurring, non-toxic volcanic rock which, when heated to super high temperatures, produces incredibly lightweight, micro-porous granules.Perlite is used in soil mixes (including soilless mediums) to improve aeration and modify the soil substructure, keeping it loose, well-draining and defying compaction. A premium mix of one peat moss, and perlite is great for container growing, enabling the pot to hold just enough water and oxygen. Perlite is also great for rooting cuttings and fosters much stronger root formation than those grown in water alone. Take your cuttings and place them in a Ziploc bag of moistened perlite, about one-thirdfull of perlite. Put the cut ends of the cuttings up to the node into the perlite and then fill the bag with air and seal it. Put the air-filled bag in indirect sunlight and check it after two or threeweeks for root formation. The cuttings can be planted when the roots are ½ to 1 inch long.

Note: Caution should be taken to avoid inhalation of perlite particles when handling, the use of a mask is strongly encouraged.
