    Manutec Perlite 12L

    Manutec Perlite is a lightweight, porous material made by rapidly heating natural volcanic rock.

This sterile growing medium doesn’t provide nutrients but helps roots get the oxygen and moisture they need for healthy growth.

    Key Features

    • Ideal for Hydroponics: Manutec Perlite 12L enhances aeration in potting mixes and provides excellent support for hydroponic systems.
    • Lightweight & Easy to Use: Manutec Perlite 12L is effortless to handle and mix into soil or other growing media.
    • Long-Lasting & Durable: Does not break down over time, maintaining its structure indefinitely.

    • Consistent Moisture Supply: Retains and gradually releases water and nutrients when used with a reservoir system.

    How to Use

    • Preparation: Before using Manutec Perlite 12l, ensure that your potting mix or growing medium is ready.
