Chillagoe Perlite offers a number of unique properties which make it an ideal horticultural medium such as:

A naturally occurring environmentally friendly material - totally made from Australian raw materials
Clean and sterile - no diseases introduced, no sterilisation necessary
Lightweight and easy to handle
Does not deteriorate - lasts indefinitely, value for money
Does not compact thereby providing good aeration and drainage - ideal for long lasting plants
Due capillary lift it keeps supplying water and nutrients to other plants when a reservoir is used. This reduces management as plants don't have to be watered as often.
Prevents drying out as Perlite absorbs up to 5 times its own weight of water. A built-in safety factor
Provides good insulation to protect roots from extreme temperature fluctuations thereby minimising plant stress

Because of these properties, Perlite is an ideal medium for:

Propagation Mixes
Potting Mixes
Soil Conditioning
Hydroponics
Bulb Storage
Landscaping and Rooftop Gardens

In conclusion, Chillagoe Perlite provides a sterile and easy to manage substrate for any crop. It is very light weight, so easy and quick to setup, saving labour. Capital expenditure is low, as Perlite can be used on sloping or undulating sites. Irrigation timing is less critical than many systems, and, because it is completely inert, slat build up is never a problem.
