Product Description
Coarse Perlite #4 with 2 Totes (1 Tote is 65 Cubic Feet) Full Truckload FREE SHIPPING
Product Summary
Coarse Perlite #4 in 65-cubic-foot totes supplies a lightweight growing media amendment for commercial greenhouses, nurseries, and substrate blending operations. Its coarse structure creates pore space within growing mixes, supporting root-zone aeration and drainage. Blend this horticultural perlite with coco coir, peat moss, or other suitable ingredients to develop a substrate matched to your crops and irrigation practices.
Each pallet includes two totes, providing 130 cubic feet of perlite. Your full truckload contains 20 pallets, 40 totes, and 2,600 cubic feet of material. Free shipping is included, giving commercial buyers clearly defined quantities for purchasing, storage, and production planning.
The large tote format supports batch mixing while reducing the number of individual packages your team needs to open. Allocate material by tote or measured volume to maintain consistent substrate recipes across growing areas.
Key Features & Benefits
- Root-zone aeration: Coarse particles create spaces that allow air movement within growing media.
- Improved drainage: Helps excess water move through appropriately formulated container substrates.
- Lightweight amendment: Adds structure without the weight associated with dense mineral aggregates.
- Blending flexibility: Suitable for combining with peat, coco, and other growing media.
- Bulk handling: Large totes support commercial mixing and substrate preparation.

Product Questions & Answers
1. How many pallets are included in a full truckload?
A full truckload contains 20 pallets. Please have a forklift onsite at the scheduled delivery time to unload the pallets from the truck.
2. Does “with 2 totes” describe the entire truckload?
No. Each pallet contains two 65-cubic-foot totes. The complete 20-pallet truckload includes 40 totes totaling 2,600 cubic feet.
3. Can I mix this perlite with both peat and coco coir?
Yes. Perlite can add aeration and drainage to either material. Select the blend ratio according to your crop, container size, and irrigation program.
4. How many cubic yards does the truckload contain?
The 2,600-cubic-foot truckload equals approximately 96.3 cubic yards. Each tote contains approximately 2.41 cubic yards.
5. Does adding more coarse perlite change how often I irrigate?
It can. Increasing the perlite proportion changes the mix’s air space and water retention. Monitor the finished substrate and adjust irrigation to plant demand.
