Perlite just improves drainage in your soil or soilless medium. It is inert, basically its just lightweight rocks that keep your soil from compacting. I usually add extra perlite to whatever soil I use, at a 4:1 soil to perlite ratio, keeps it draining nice the whole time, I fucking hate it when soil gets bricked up inbetween waterings and doen't want to absorb shit. Perlite stops that.
