"too much" perlite in the FC?
    #7188452 - 07/17/07 02:28 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

can there be too much perlite in the fc? i know that too little perlite doesn't humidify well but are there any down sides to too much perlite? my friend has about 1/4 of the fc under perlite and she wonders if it's too much.

Not that that answers his question. No, you cannot have too much perlite. More than a few inches will keep your humidity up for weeks though, and is pointless.

The only thing wrong with too much perlite is that it tends to pack down and not remain airy and loose (which you want).
