The exceptional physical properties of this perlite make it tops in the perlite world for adding porosity to soil and soilless mixes. This perlite has numerous hydroponic applications as well. The #4 is the largest perlite on the market and averages a whopping size of around 1 in. The #3 measures around 1/2 in and the Coarse is about 1/8 to 1/4 in.
