There are two types of perlite: pearlite and obsidian. Did you know their properties are completely opposite?
Most of the perlite sold at home centers is likely inexpensive and common pearlite.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━
● Even though it's perlite, the properties are opposite, so please read the following characteristics(^^)

〈Pearlite Perlite〉
- The surface of the grains is rough, so it has water retention.
Pearlite is often from China.

〈Obsidian Perlite〉← This product
- Water does not penetrate the core of the grains, so it has drainage. Suitable for purposes where soil drainage is desired.
Obsidian is mined in Nagano and Hokkaido, so it is often domestically produced.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This is an inorganic, ultra-lightweight soil amendment material made by firing obsidian at high temperatures above 1,000°C.
It has dissolved oxygen capacity and is highly effective in controlling moisture, such as improving soil permeability and aeration.
Grain size: 4F (φ3-5mm)
- Drainage
- Lightweight
- Heat retention/insulation effect
- Minimal water retention (due to fewer hollow spaces compared to pearlite)
- Aeration
- Prevents root rot (due to the effect of obsidian creating mineral water)
