Works great. I used it with my indoor potting mix for my snake plants to give them extra drainage. I will also use this for my outdoor garden since I make my own garden mix. Not much smell to it. Some dust at the bottom of the bag but not a dusty product overall. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
This is a great product to add to planters. It is lighter than I expected but does a nice job mixing in and adding bulk. Some of the pieces are different sizes, including smaller broken pieces. It would be nice to have more consistent sizing but that is understandable. It can get a little messy to work with and has some dust, but it is a great addition and I will continue to use it for my plants to support growth.

Definitely a neat idea to help improve the drainage of plants. I like the concept because it gives me a better understanding of how to take care of my indoor plants without worrying about them becoming waterlogged. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
It is a great addition to my plants. These perlite particles provide air to the soil. My plants are growing very well with this addition. I don't think there is any odor to it. The particles are smaller than regular perlite but I like the quality of it. The soil is draining better. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
Thankfully the bag is pretty large because my plants seem to love having the Viagrow Perlite mixed into the soil. It helps with moisture retention and soil rot prevention, which I have had problems with in the past. It�s easy to mix into your soil for indoor or outdoor gardening. I�m very happy with it, and so are my plants. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
I�ve been using this horticultural perlite mixed into my potting soil for my indoor plants, especially trees, and it�s made a big difference. It really improves drainage and keeps the soil light and airy, which helps the roots grow strong and healthy. I�ve noticed less water sitting at the bottom of pots and overall better growth�stronger stems, greener leaves, and happier plants. It�s clean, easy to mix, and a little goes a long way. Definitely a must-have for indoor plant care, especially if you�re growing trees or larger plants. Easy to mix into the soil and water the plant slowly. ?? Thank you Influenster for sending me this product to try. It works great for absorption! [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
I am very happy with Viagrow Horticultural Perlite. Clean, odorless, natural, lightweight, and easy to use. It has so many uses for my growing needs all year long. It helps my plants flourish and grow. A little goes a long way whether mixed with soil or used alone as a growing medium. I will be making this a staple in my greenhouse from now on.

I received this complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have over 15 houseplants, most ranging from small to medium size. I added the Viagrow Perlite to my usual base of orchid bark and tropical soil. It works great! My soil is ready to go and my plants are ready for repotting. Not too much dust and great sturdy packaging. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
I'm looking forward to the long-term results from applying Viagrow to the soil around my plants and bushes, which is why I gave it 4 stars for now. It seems a bit chalky, but I�ve heard it helps with water absorption. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
I love this stuff! I garden a lot and like to create my own soil mixes. I use this for my vegetables and many of my other plants. It works really well and is a great value. I would definitely recommend it. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
Very good to use! Very easy and straightforward. I�ve used it for about two weeks and it�s been very helpful for my plants. It looks like styrofoam but it�s not. It�s super lightweight and easy to use. It absorbs water very quickly and I�ll have plenty left for the rest of the year. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
What can I say! This soil amendment mixes easily into potting soil, raised beds, or garden soil and the improvement is noticeable right away. Plants root faster, drainage is better, and the soil doesn�t compact over time. It�s especially useful for seedlings and indoor plants. Our family used this before winter hit to plant our indoor plants! [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
Viagrow Horticultural Perlite is a clean, lightweight medium that improves soil drainage and keeps the mix airy so roots can grow easily. It helps prevent soil from getting compacted or staying too wet. The perlite feels high-quality, works well for seed starting and potting mixes, and gives plants a healthier environment to grow. Overall, a simple and effective product for gardening. [INCENTIVIZED] [Received Free Product] [Originally posted on influenster.com]
I used Viagrow Horticultural Perlite and it�s a solid soil amendment. It lightens heavy soil, improves drainage and aeration, and helps plant roots breathe and grow strong. I like how it helps prevent waterlogged soil while retaining enough moisture for healthy growth. My only gripe is that because it�s inert and contains no nutrients, you need to pair it with good compost or fertilizer to get full results.

Never realized what this stuff really was until I received the bag and looked it up. It has been an amazing additive to all my potted plants. Unfortunately, the bag came busted so they put it in a trash bag, but I transferred it to a sealed bucket. We planted all of my plants using this product and they�ve been doing amazing. The nice, light, dry consistency makes it easy to mix into soil. I love that you get so much in the bag. A little goes a very long way.
