Naturally occurring material Improves aeration & drainage for healthy root growth Ideal for use when rooting cuttings & potting-on General Advice Store in a dry, frost free place away from weedkillers and other garden chemicals Wear gloves when handling and wash hands after use Reseal bag after use Mixing the micro-porous granules of Gro-Sure Perlite with your compost. Stimulates strong, healthy root growth Helps increase absorption & water retention Improves aeration and drainage How to Use For harder cuttings and for fragile plants increase to two parts Perlite and one part Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost. Keep well watered, but ensure pots can freely drain. We recommend dampening the Perlite before use, to reduce dust. When using the whole bag contents, add up to 1 litre (2 pints) of water in the bag and leave to soak for several minutes before use. Rooting Cuttings For soft stem and leaf cuttings, use a mixture of equal parts by volume of Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost and Gro-Sure Perlite. Potting on Use a mixture of Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost with 25% Gro-Sure Perlite added. Perlite can be used wholly or in part replacement of sand and/or grit to create a light and very open structure, improving drainage, aeration and insulation. Before transplanting plants from pots to containers it is recommended to water the plants well and allow to drain. Remove plants from their pots and place into the container, firming compost around the plant roots. Once the container is fully planted, water well and feed as appropriate Review: My go to perlite for all houseplants! - I’ve been using this perlite for around 4 years now across all of my houseplants, and it has become one of those products I keep repurchasing without even thinking twice. I use it in pretty much every soil mix: Monsteras, Philodendrons, Pothos, Calatheas, palms, cuttings, propagations, you name it, and it consistently improves drainage and aeration really well. One of the biggest differences I noticed after adding this to my mixes was how much healthier the roots stayed. My soil used to stay wet for too long sometimes, especially in larger pots, but this helps keep the mix lighter and prevents it from becoming compacted. Since using it, I’ve had far fewer issues with overwatering, soggy soil, or root problems. The quality is also very consistent compared to some cheaper perlite brands I’ve tried before. The granules are a good size, it mixes easily into soil, and a bag lasts surprisingly long unless you have a serious plant addiction like me 🌱 For the price, I honestly think it’s excellent value for money. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can make for healthier houseplants, especially if you make your own soil mixes. Whether you’re a beginner or really into plants, I’d definitely recommend keeping a bag of this at home. Reliable, affordable, and genuinely effective. Review: Chunky soil mix - Great addition to my chunky soil mix, has helped a lot woth drainage. Decent size for price and has lasted me a while (I'm barely half way through the bag, even after re-potting most of my plants). It is fairly dusty, however I find it not too bad if using it outside, wearing a face mask. I will definitely be buying again, highly recommend! ## Features - Naturally occurring material - Improves aeration and drainage - Ideal for healthy root growth - Ideal for use when rooting cuttings - Ideal for potting on seedlings ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B5DVT6U | | Best Sellers Rank | 212 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 1 in Hydroponics (Garden) 1 in Gardening Perlite | | Brand | Westland | | Brand Name | Westland | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,263 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05023377859632 | | Item Type Name | Gro-Sure 20100270 Perlite, 10 Litre | | Item Weight | 950 Grams | | Item weight | 950 Grams | | Manufacturer | Westlands Horticulture Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | 20100270 | | Model Number | 20100270 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Style | Single | | Style Name | Single | | Unit Count | 10000.0 millilitre | | Unit count | 10000.0 millilitre | | Volume | 10 Litres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Westland - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 05023377859632 - **Item weight:** 950 Grams - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Style:** Single ## Images ![Gro-Sure Perlite 10l - For Improved Aeration and Drainage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ozPlr56YL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is Perlite and vermiculite the same** A: Vermiculite is an aluminum-iron-magnesium silicate that resembles mica in appearance. For use in horticultural applications, vermiculite is heated to expand the particles. This expansion enables it to absorb moisture when used as a potting medium. Vermiculite can soak up 3 to 4 times its volume in water. It also attracts plant nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. Perlite is an amorphous volcanic rock that is rich in silicon. When mined for use as a potting medium, perlite is crushed and also heated to expand the particles. The microscopic bubbles in perlite granules absorb and hold water as well, but they also hold air. Basically, I use Vermiculite when seed sowing and Perlite if I am planting in small containers **Q: Can I use perlite and vermiculite mix together** A: There's really no need to mix perlite and vermiculite because each of them is best suited for different situations. Use perlite to root cuttings or grow cacti, succulents, epiphytes, and other plants that benefit from quickly draining soil with plenty of aeration. **Q: I'd just like to ask if one bag of 10L perlight costs £6.00 . why does 2 bags of the same product cost £17.92 , 6+6 = 12 ?** A: Suggest direct your question to Westland Gro-Sure Perlite. However my information is that one bag costs £8.10 - still does not add up though **Q: how much perlite to potting soil?** A: I use about 1/4 mix but you can try 50/50.There's no right or wrong but remember that the perlite has no nutrients as it is made of volcanic rock granules. The white tiny rocks absorb moisture and retain the moisture around the plant roots, the granules aerate your potting soil too by helping with drainage so your potting soil is not clogged. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go to perlite for all houseplants! *by G***. on 26 May 2026* I’ve been using this perlite for around 4 years now across all of my houseplants, and it has become one of those products I keep repurchasing without even thinking twice.
