Legigo Perlite for Plants 30 Quart Coarse Organic Soil Amendment — Improves Drainage & Aeration

Legigo 30 Quarts Organic Perlite is a coarse, pH-neutral volcanic amendment that improves drainage, aeration, and root space for indoor plants, succulents, cacti, and soil-less mixes.

Legigo’s horticultural perlite arrives in a heavy-duty resealable pouch containing 30 quarts of coarse, uniformly sized white perlite. Lightweight and long-lasting, this volcanic glass product resists compaction, holds moisture while improving drainage, and is commonly used for potting mixes, cactus blends, carnivorous plant soils, and hydroponic or soilless systems. The package is designed to keep the perlite dry and easy to pour for repeat use.

How does Legigo perlite improve potted plant soil?

Adding perlite to potting soil increases pore space so roots get oxygen and excess water drains away. It breaks up heavy or compacted mixes, reducing root rot risk by letting moisture move freely while still retaining some water for plant uptake.

• Lightweight volcanic material that resists compaction over time
• Creates air pockets to promote healthier root systems
• Balances moisture retention and drainage for better growth

What are the best uses for this coarse perlite?

This coarse-grade perlite is ideal for cactus and succulent top layers, carnivorous plant substrates, general potting mixes, and hydroponic media. It’s also useful in creative projects like floral arrangements and miniature landscapes where the chunky texture adds breathability and clean aesthetics.

• Perfect for precise cactus and succulent mixes to prevent soggy soil
• Suitable for carnivorous plants that require fast-draining substrates
• Works in hydroponics and soilless gardening for aeration

How much perlite should I mix into my potting soil?

Mix ratios vary depending on plant type: succulents and cacti need a higher proportion, while tropical houseplants need less. Start with 10–30% perlite in standard potting soil, and increase to 50% or more for cactus mixes or fast-draining blends.

• 10–30% perlite for general indoor plant potting mixes
• 40–60% (or higher) for cactus and succulent-specific blends
• Use sparingly in mixes for moisture-loving tropicals—adjust based on plant response

How does the packaging help storage and use?

Legigo’s perlite is supplied in a heavy-duty resealable pouch that keeps contents dry and protected from light. The pouch makes measuring and pouring easier, lets you store leftover perlite cleanly, and helps maintain product quality between uses.

• Resealable pouch for long-term dry storage
• Easy to pour and measure without spilling dust
• Protects perlite from moisture and contamination
