        A:  You certainly can mix it in, it will help make the soil less heavy and help drainage. I myself prefer to mix it with potting mix for containers. I find potting mix works better in containers. Garden soil can be too heavy and hold too much moisture.

                A:  Doesn't seem they carry anymore....ugh. But they have a substitute available. You can buy 2 bags of Viagrow perlite for a similar price - with free shipping. I received mine last week and the stuff looks excellent - a little bigger particles than the other stuff - but still works well as a soil enhancer.

                    It’s good so far for My plant. I don’t have a good green thumb but it’s a start on trying to save my golden Pothos plant. I’m just hoping for the best.

                      Mineral vs organic
                      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!
