How to Use
For harder cuttings and for fragile plants increase to two parts Perlite and one part Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost. Keep well watered, but ensure pots can freely drain.
We recommend dampening the Perlite before use, to reduce dust. When using the whole bag contents, add up to 1 litre (2 pints) of water in the bag and leave to soak for several minutes before use.
Rooting Cuttings
For soft stem and leaf cuttings, use a mixture of equal parts by volume of Gro-Sure Seed & Cutting Compost and Gro-Sure Perlite.
Potting on
Use a mixture of Gro-Sure All Purpose Compost with 25% Gro-Sure Perlite added. Perlite can be used wholly or in part replacement of sand and/or grit to create a light and very open structure, improving drainage, aeration and insulation. Before transplanting plants from pots to containers it is recommended to water the plants well and allow to drain. Remove plants from their pots and place into the container, firming compost around the plant roots. Once the container is fully planted, water well and feed as appropriate

This is my first perlite purchase so can not compare to other products. Package arrived on time, easy to handle and nicely packaged with easy to follow instructions. Time will show how effective this product is.
Gro-Sure Perlite is awesome! It helps my plants grow better by improving soil drainage and aeration. It’s a big bag for a good price, and it’s easy to use. My plants love it, and so do I!
I have lots of cuttings to take to the garden in my new home so I am hoping this product will help as I am aware it is a little late in the season to be doing this delicate job, however you cannot influence contract exchanges unfortunately.
It would have helped to have a self-seal opening as I shall need to use it again late summer. Perhaps the seller will take this onboard for future sales of this product. This inclusion would have given the product 5 stars.
First time using perlite as I have embarked on been a house plant nana (grandmother) and the product arrive on time it was light and easy to carry. The instruction were easy to follow and so far the plans that I have re-pottered are all perked up. This not the only product I have used by Gro-Sure so try there potting soil works well together and good value for money.
