We like it chunky

I have received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest review. This perlite is an absolute must for my garden. I received two 8-pound bags of the coarse and chunky version. One bag alone is more than enough to fill a raised bed. It�s very easy to mix in with the soil. It blends very well and is amazing for drainage and aeration. I use this for all my vegetable plants, peppers, and even flowers. It does leave a little cloud of dust once you pour it in so just be prepared. I absolutely prefer this over the smaller perlite 100%. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Great addition to any soil

The packaging was easy to use. It offers great aeration for my plants. The appearance is very attractive with the white speckles and the particle size is very versatile as well. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Good for soil drainage

This perlite seemed to work well for my succulent potting mix. I appreciated that it had variable sizes and was not as powdery as other perlite products I�ve used. Overall it seemed to improve soil drainage and the bag size will last me a long time. I would consider purchasing it in the future.

Good for plants!

This perlite was the perfect thing to add to my soil to keep my plants happy and healthy. It is so easy to mess up soil moisture, and this perlite is the perfect solution to help prevent overwatering, mold, and other issues. Love it!

Easy to Use With Lots of Benefits for Indoor and O

This perlite is great because it offers so many benefits to both indoor and outdoor plants. The most beneficial thing for me as a home gardener is that it improves drainage not only for my indoor plants but also for my outdoor patio garden while adding volume to the soil and potting mix. It�s lightweight and helps aerate the soil. When using it, I find that my soil and potting mix do not become as compacted from watering as they do without perlite. I can also see where it would be beneficial for propagation and hydroponic gardening because of its lightweight and coarse texture that helps encourage root development. I like keeping a bag of this around as an additive to improve both my potting mixes and soils. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Easy food

I�ve used this perlite soil for my orchid. The application is easy and it spreads out well. The soil breaks down easily and I�m able to use it on many of my other plants. The odor is not as strong as some other soil products. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Great for plants!

A must-have addition to your soil! I love that this comes in larger bags because I have a lot of plants. Perfect for making your own chunky mix. It provides excellent drainage and helps prevent the dreaded root rot. It was a bit dusty when I opened the package, but that was expected. The price is also reasonable for the two large bags you get. If you�re having plant problems, you need to add this to your soil mix.

Love it

Perlite is perfect for plants that need well-draining soil. The texture is exactly as expected and the packaging is nice. It isn�t overly dusty either. I will use this for all of my tropical plants that need well-draining soil to help prevent root rot. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Great quality super lightweight and perfect for

I�m honestly really impressed with the quality. The pieces are actually chunky and not the dusty, powdery kind I�ve gotten from other brands, and they mix so well into my soil. My pots instantly felt lighter and you can literally see the difference in drainage when you water. I used it for a few repots and my plants perked right up and looked beautiful. It also blends great if you�re making your own aroid or succulent mix. The bags are full, not half air like some brands, and the texture is exactly what you want for airflow around the roots. If you�re looking for perlite that�s not messy, does what it�s supposed to do, and actually improves your soil mix, this is definitely worth it. I�d buy it again.

Best Plant Grow Product I've Ever Tried!!!!!!

A game changer if you grow plants indoors, outdoors, and everywhere in between. I love how much product you receive for the value with these perlite grow bags. I like to use mine indoors when growing plants in alternative ways. This is great for hydroponic growing, jar growing, and outdoor plant care. The pellets are incredibly light and become more expanded when mixed with water. A little goes a long way. These pellets have turned my struggling plants into vibrant beauties. I highly recommend Viagrow Perlite. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Great quality perlite

I received this Viagrow Coarse & Chunky Grade Perlite for free in exchange for my honest review. I was super excited that it arrived right on time because I needed it to repot my fiddle leaf fig that was suffering from root rot. I used a generous amount in the bottom of the pot and mixed it into the soil so water would not sit around the roots for too long. I was impressed with how large the bag was and I know I will use it for all of my tropical plants at home. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]

Perlite

I looked up reviews on this product and people are raving about it. It�s super lightweight, not overly powdery, and easy to spread around plants. Unfortunately, it�s currently blizzard season in the Northeast so we probably won�t get to use it until spring. Super excited to use it in our garden. Thanks Influenster!

Good overall

It has been absorbing pretty well and has lasted throughout the winter so far, although we have not had any snow yet. I wish the bag had a way to zip back closed. Will try again in spring. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
