HORTICULTURE GRADE PERLITE
Perlite is an alumino-silicate of volcanic origin, which when crushed and heated rapidly expands to form a white lightweight stable aggregate, possessing a closed cellular structure. Water is retained only on the aggregate surface and in pore spaces between aggregates - the result is a well-drained lightweight media, easy to handle and transport. The aggregates have good structural integrity and do not break down when utilized as a propagating media or in planting mixes, developing a near-ideal structural condition in growing and propagating media.

ORGANIC BONE MEAL
General Usage:
This is used to enhance the phosphorous content in the soil. This will help in better rooting & will assist flowering. This will also reduce the pH of the soil.
For General Gardening:
Use about 100 to 150 gm per kg of garden soil. Do not give this around the stem. Advisable to use about 50mm at the rim of the pot & about 50mm below the soil.

PUMICE STONE
Pumice Stone is a naturally occurring aggregate for soil conditioning and aggregate for hydroponics, also used for potting mix.
- An excellent adsorbent with a negative charge. This helps in holding the positive ions. This will prevent the leaching of Nutrients.
- Light weight (650 kg/m3) therefore helps in the Aeration of heavy soils and, at the same time helps in retaining moisture in sand-based greens.
- Reduces usage of Fertilizers and manures by more than 50%.
- Prevents the leaching of Fertilizers and chemicals thus preventing the flow of chemicals to underground water sources & streams. Therefore extremely eco-friendly.
- Does not react with chemicals therefore very stable and lasts for a long time (at least 20 years)
- Very easy to apply, and can be broadcast or incorporated with the green sand at the time of construction.
- Economical because only about 1-2 kg/m2 is required.
- Gives excellent results in potting mixes turf fields and substrates.
- Available in different particle sizes. (2 to 10mm & 16 to 40mm) Packing: Packed in 50Ltrs HDPE Woven bags.
