Series and technical data
| Code | Type | Use | Grain size (mm) | Bulk density | Add to request list |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MM-TP-F | Fine horticultural perlite | Seed germination, seedlings | 0–2 | 90–120 kg/m³ | |
| MM-TP-M | Medium horticultural perlite | Potting and greenhouse mixes | 2–5 | 80–110 kg/m³ | |
| MM-TP-C | Coarse horticultural perlite | Soilless (hydroponic) growing, drainage | 3–6 | 80–100 kg/m³ |
Codes are Mimosi reference codes – just quote the code in your request. Values are typical; exact values are given in the data sheet with our offer.
How to choose
- Pick grain size by use: fine for germination and seedlings, medium for potting mixes and rooting, coarse for soilless growing and drainage.
- Perlite holds water but carries no nutrients; mixed with peat or coco it gives the best air-water balance.
- In soilless growing a 10–15 cm perlite bed over plastic, or 5–10 L grow bags, is common practice.
- The product is very light: container loads are planned by volume, and big bags lower the freight per unit.

Description
Because it is expanded at high temperature, horticultural perlite is sterile and free of weed seeds and disease. Added to soil and peat mixes, it aerates the root zone, drains excess water and prevents compaction.
Fine grades are used for seedlings and seed germination, medium grades for potting and greenhouse mixes, and coarse grades for soilless (hydroponic) systems. We supply bagged product to greenhouses, nurseries, garden centres and landscaping firms; certification for organic farming can be provided on request.
