- sfahan Perlite, as one of the leading perlite producers in Iran, widely utilizes this natural mineral in the horticultural industry.
One of the most important applications of perlite in horticulture is improving soil structure. Heavy, clayey soils typically face drainage issues, making it difficult for water to pass through. Using perlite in these soils enhances soil aeration and improves drainage. The porous structure of perlite allows water and air to flow easily through the soil, which is crucial for healthy root growth and better nutrient absorption by plants. Isfahan Perlite, by providing high-quality perlite, helps gardeners improve their soil and produce better yields.
Soil Moisture Retention
In addition to improving drainage, perlite also has the ability to retain moisture in the soil. This feature is especially important in dry and water-scarce areas. By absorbing water and holding it within its structure, perlite helps plants resist drought more effectively. As a result, using perlite in orchard and farm soils reduces the need for frequent irrigation and helps maintain moisture for longer periods.
Root Growth Enhancement
- Due to its structural properties, perlite provides an ideal space for root growth. By creating air pockets in the soil, it allows roots to breathe better and absorb nutrients more effectively. Additionally, perlite prevents soil compaction due to its lightness and minimal volume change, which helps promote better root growth. Isfahan Perlite, by producing high-quality perlite, assists gardeners in ensuring that plant roots grow healthily and robustly.
- Use in Potted Plant Cultivation and Care
In potted plant cultivation, perlite is used as a filler material in combination with soil. This mixture improves aeration, drainage, and moisture retention in pots. Perlite also acts as an anti-compaction agent in pots, preventing soil compression. These characteristics enable potted plants to grow in an ideal environment, reducing the need for frequent watering.
