Combine with all purpose soil do Great for my cactus and succulents. I have been using it for years. But now when I look at the labeling it says it is organic. When did a mineral became organic? It may be use in organic gardening, but it definitely is not organic.

I needed this perlite to transplant a banana tree into a larger pot for our patio. It makes the pot lighter in case it has to be moved and also keeps the soil from getting compacted when our cats sleep around the base of the banana plant. For some reason it has been hard to find this summer, so when I found a couple of bags listed at a local Home Depot I purchased it online to make sure it was there when I went to pick it up. Score!

Some brands of perlite are too fine. The big company’s version is like dust and also contains plant food, which burns stems and is not needed for propagation. This brand is a good value. I have already recommended it to friends and pros.
Biochar is a type of charcoal or activatedBiochar is a type of charcoal or activated carbon that is especially good at supporting plant growth. Ours uses invasive buckthorn for feedstock and our biochar kiln is fired without the use of fossil fuels. We add our organic fertilizer, coffee skins to charge the biochar with nutrients and add bio-available carbon to the soil. This results in a product that is ready to be added to your soil without mixing biochar and fertilizer yourself.View Full Product Description
