Perlite is widely used in horticulture and agriculture, often used to improve soil structure, increase soil ventilation and water retention, help the growth of flower roots, suitable for plants that like dry and aerated environment, such as cacti, succulents, orchids, etc., not suitable for plants that like moist environment, such as aloe vera, bromeliads, etc.

I call ceramsite 'baby leca' although houseplant hobbyists often use leca and ceramsite to describe the same thing. These two plant substrates are essentially are the same, with more similarities than differences, although the prep before use is slightly different (prep and more tips coming up).

Ceramsite is the granule of ceramic. Most of the appearance characteristics of ceramsite are round or elliptical spheres, but some imitation stone ceramsites are not round or elliptical spheres, but are irregularly gravel-like. The shape of the ceramsite varies from process to process.

Ceramsite is made of clay, slate, shale, coal gangue, and industrial solid waste and other raw materials, and is sintered by ceramics.
