Big-brand media sits in a warehouse for months before it hits a shelf. Ours is broken down from bulk and bagged on-site in small runs, so it never sits crushed under a pallet stack.
Perlite #3, #4, and Fine — plus screened pumice that serious growers hunt for. Not the dusty fines that pass for "perlite" in a hardware aisle.
Raw material sourced from New Mexico deposits, then broken down and bagged by hand at our Houston shop — so you know exactly where every bag comes from.
Grade and net contents printed on every bag. Run your hands through our bins in-store before you buy — we have nothing to hide.
Ambrosia Soils supplies perlite, pumice, and clay pebbles to garden centers, nurseries, and specialty retailers. Founding accounts lock in first-tier pricing, get priority on new product lines, and get a dedicated contact — not a support queue.
