Directions for Use
- Choose whether to use the perlite as a suitable standalone medium or blend it with coco or soil.
- Use a clean container and mix gently until the white granules are evenly distributed.
- Fill pots, trays or the intended growing system without heavily compacting the medium.
- Plant and irrigate according to the crop, container and hydroponic system being used.
There is no single mixing ratio for every crop or system. Adjust the blend to the required balance of drainage, aeration and moisture retention.
Care, Maintenance and Safety
- Avoid generating or breathing dust and work in a well-ventilated area.
- Use suitable eye protection; use appropriate particulate respiratory protection if ventilation cannot control airborne dust.
- Store sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Wet sweep or vacuum spills rather than dry sweeping.
- Read the product label and current Exfoliators Premium Perlite Safety Data Sheet before use.
Buyer FAQs
What is Perlite Coarse Grade used for?
It is used as a horticultural or hydroponic growing medium and as an amendment in coco or soil blends where extra air space and drainage are wanted.
Can I use it by itself?
Yes, it can be used as a standalone medium in suitable systems. Irrigation frequency and nutrient management must match the crop and setup.
Can I mix it with coco or soil?
Yes. Mixing perlite through coco or soil helps create a more open structure. Choose the ratio for the crop, container and watering method rather than relying on one universal blend.
Which systems can use it?
The TG Hydroponics product information supports use in pots, trays, bottom-fed auto-watering systems, hand-watered containers and recirculating drip systems.
How should I handle the dust?
Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid creating airborne dust and follow the manufacturer’s SDS recommendations for eye and respiratory protection.
