Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Mixing: Mix Gro-Sure Perlite with seed or cutting compost before use. The recommended ratio is typically 1:1 or 1:2 (Perlite to compost), but can vary based on the plant's needs.
- Preparation: Ensure the compost is evenly mixed with the perlite to create a consistent texture.
- Application: Use the mix when rooting cuttings, potting-on, or starting seeds. Ensure the plant is properly watered after planting.
Compatibility
Gro-Sure Perlite is compatible with various compost types and can be used with most plants. It's especially beneficial for plants that require well-drained soil.
Care
- Watering: Monitor watering needs more closely, as perlite can alter moisture retention. Check the soil moisture regularly.
- Storage: Store Gro-Sure Perlite in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its effectiveness.
- Handling: When handling dry perlite, wear a mask to avoid inhaling dust particles.
