Description
Desert Energy Natural Perlite is a lightweight volcanic mineral that has been heated and expanded to create a porous, sterile growing medium essential for improving soil drainage, aeration, and root development. These white, popcorn-like Desert Energy granules are pH neutral, won't decompose, and provide permanent soil structure improvement that benefits plants for years. When mixed into potting soils or garden beds, perlite creates air pockets that prevent soil compaction, allow oxygen to reach roots, and ensure excess water drains freely to prevent root rot.
Ideal for container gardening, seed starting, hydroponic systems, and amending heavy clay soils common in UAE, Desert Energy perlite is a versatile soil amendment that improves growing conditions for virtually all plants. The lightweight structure makes potted plants easier to move while reducing overall container weight without sacrificing volume. In propagation, perlite provides the perfect balance of moisture retention and drainage that encourages rapid root development in cuttings and seedlings. For outdoor gardens, mixing Desert Energy perlite into planting holes improves drainage around trees, shrubs, and perennials, preventing waterlogged conditions that cause root diseases. The sterile, inert nature means perlite won't introduce pests, diseases, or weed seeds into your growing media. Essential for cacti, succulents, and other plants requiring excellent drainage, Desert Energy perlite is a fundamental component of quality potting mixes and a valuable amendment for improving UAE's challenging desert soils.
