Our biggest perlite, for the chunkiest mixes and largest plants.

Super Chunky Perlite #4 is extra-large perlite sized 3/4 to 1 inch. These big pieces create large air channels in the pot, so water drains fast and roots get plenty of oxygen. It's the go-to for big aroids, large pots and anyone building a very chunky custom mix.

Best for

• Extra-chunky mixes for monstera, philodendron, anthurium and alocasia
• Large pots where soil tends to stay wet in the middle
• Plants with thick roots that need lots of air
• Passive hydro and self-watering setups

Why plant parents love it

• Pre-sifted. Only the big pieces make it into the bag.
• Maximum airflow. Large pieces leave open channels for oxygen and water.
• Fast drainage. Helps keep large, heavy pots from staying soggy.
• Inert and pH neutral. Won't change the chemistry of your mix.
• Lightweight and reusable. Adds structure without adding weight.

Which perlite do you need?

• Coarse Perlite (1/8 to 3/8 inch): lightens everyday potting soil, seed starting and propagation.
• Chunky Perlite #3 (1/4 to 1/2 inch): the all-rounder for chunky aroid, hoya and succulent mixes.
• Super Chunky Perlite #4 (3/4 to 1 inch): maximum airflow for large aroids, big pots and very chunky mixes.

Tip

Perlite can be dusty. Mist it with a little water and wear a mask before mixing for safety.
