I get to know only one shop in karachi Vitex Garden and they are selling 100gm of Perlite for Rs.500/- way too much
If you don't know any shop in karachi then I can get it from other city as well of they are cheap and worth to have it.
Thanks

You dont need perlite, peat moss for good seed germination mix...

For starting seeds just mix 1/4 finely crumbled well rotted khaad/compost and 3/4 plain baalu mitti. Works well.
