Finer to medium perlite is ideal for quality seed-starting mixes or rooting cuttings as it promotes rapid root production through effective drainage. It is also excellent for succulents and orchids. Additionally medium perlite can be lightly scattered on lawns where it will gradually improve soil drainage.
