Product Description
Coarse Perlite with 2 totes (1 tote is 65 cubic feet), Full Truckload FREE SHIPPING
Product Summary
Coarse Perlite in 65-cubic-foot totes supplies a lightweight mineral amendment for commercial potting mixes, greenhouse production, and hydroponic growing systems. Its approximately â…›- to ¼-inch particles add pore space to growing media, supporting drainage and air movement around roots. Blend this horticultural perlite with peat, coco coir, or other suitable ingredients to create substrates matched to your crops.
Each pallet contains two totes, providing 130 cubic feet of coarse perlite. Your full truckload includes 20 pallets, 40 totes, and 2,600 cubic feet of material. Free shipping is available to standard commercial addresses within the contiguous United States.
Large totes support measured mixing operations and reduce the number of individual packages opened during substrate preparation. Allocate inventory by pallet, tote, or measured volume to coordinate planting schedules and maintain repeatable recipes across production areas.

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. Is this the same particle size as the #3 tote product?
No. This coarse perlite is listed at approximately â…›–¼ inch, while the separate #3 tote product is described as approximately ½ inch.
3. How much perlite do I need for a 100-cubic-foot mix containing 20% perlite?
Measure 20 cubic feet of perlite and 80 cubic feet of your other ingredients. This is a volume calculation; select the actual ratio according to your crop requirements.
4. Should I mix the perlite throughout the growing medium?
Yes. For a blended substrate, distribute it evenly so the mix has a consistent structure throughout the container.
5. How should unused totes be stored?
Keep them covered and protected from moisture and contamination. Covered storage helps preserve clean material for later mixing batches.
