I finally ran out of perlite after buying a massive bag of therm-o-rock from home depot a couple years back, so what brands of perlite work well for you guys?

Esphoma and Hoffman's are 2 I use. You want NO FERTILIZER in it which means NO MIRACLE GROW products.

I've been using Therm-o-rock as well, haven't had any issues with it.

I've used this one before too. Lately my local stores have been carrying Vigoro brand which seems comparable.

Any kind of perlite will work fine as long as its not enriched. We use Therm-o-rock brand here as well.
