How to Plant using Perlite only

Sup 🌍
Plant Savvy Here!
“Whether it’s in your favorite potting soil, or you’re using moistened perlite to root cuttings, this soil additive utilized in the garden an important part of any growing venture.
Knowing the composition of perlite, and its water-retention properties will help you get that little boost out of your efforts.
Here, we’ll explore the world of horticultural perlite, and shed some light on the best ways to put it to use for you. As a staple in growing potted plants, it’s important you know what you’re working with.
Perlite is a naturally occurring mineral in the form of amorphous volcanic glass, although it’s often confused by new gardeners as being some lightweight material like styrofoam.
It’s occasionally called expanded pyrite and has the nickname “volcanic popcorn”, and I’ll get into why in the next segment. If you looked at a piece of horticultural perlite under a microscope, you would see that it’s quite porous.
The cavities in perlite help store nutrients and some moisture that the plant might need but drain excess water away from potting soil. It is non-toxic, clean, disease-free, and extremely lightweight and easy to work with.”

How did your leaf go? Did it you get the results that you were looking for? 😊 🌱

[@Plantsavvy]

I had it perlite for about three weeks, then transferred it into water propagation and lost it unfortunately. But no worries the experiment was a learning experience 😂
To never do that again 🤣💀
