Using Perlite for the first time

The small perlite, rather than opening the mix, would actually fill in the tiny air spaces and make the mix less aerated. The roots wouldn't get the air they need. The larger perlite is better. Check out this article at First Ray's site under "Free Info" about particle packing:
