Advantages

Why this product earns a place in the mix

5 product strengths
01

Enhanced Aeration

This Growing Mix ensures superior aeration within the growing medium. The presence of perlite, a lightweight volcanic mineral, creates air pockets in the mix, facilitating improved oxygen circulation to the plant roots. This enhances root respiration, promoting robust and healthy plant growth.

02

Improved Drainage

The addition of perlite in the mix enhances drainage capabilities. Excess water can quickly pass through the medium, preventing waterlogging and potential root rot. This reliable drainage ensures optimal moisture levels for your plants.

03

Healthy Root Development

The excellent balance of perlite in the growing mix provides a loose and porous structure, offering roots an ideal environment to establish and grow. This encourages root branching and proliferation, setting the foundation for thriving plants.

Buyer guidance

When a 15% perlite grower mix makes sense

ASB Growing Mix with 15 Perlite is positioned for North American growers who want an all-purpose peat-based medium with added air space and drainage support. It is not simply a price comparison against a base mix; the decision should be based on irrigation control, crop cycle, and root-zone oxygen needs.

Specification checks

Base grower mix vs peat and perlite grower mix

Before buying
  • Use it when greenhouse vegetables or container crops need more drainage support than a base all-purpose peat mix.
  • Compare it with the standard growing mix when the crop program has wet areas, heavier watering cycles, or slower dry-down than desired.
  • Keep irrigation settings in the test plan, because added perlite can change how quickly the medium responds after watering.
  • Evaluate crop uniformity, root development, and correction labor before switching a large block or annual purchasing program.
Base grower mix

A balanced base mix can work well for broad greenhouse production when the current irrigation strategy and crop cycle already match the substrate behavior.

15% perlite mix

The perlite-supported version is better suited when the program needs more air movement, stronger drainage support, or faster recovery after heavier irrigation events.

Before committing

Run side-by-side checks for dry-down, root quality, crop evenness, handling on the filling line, and delivery packaging before scaling up.
