Brunnings Perlite 25L - Professional High-Volume Aeration & Drainage Medium

Brunnings Perlite 25L - Professional High-Volume Aeration & Drainage Medium

Brunnings Perlite is a premium, lightweight volcanic mineral engineered to provide superior aeration and moisture management for large-scale professional and home gardening applications. This substantial 25L pack of perlite features highly porous granules that create essential air pockets within the root zone, effectively preventing soil compaction and ensuring that oxygen remains readily available to developing roots. Its unique physical structure allows it to hold moisture on the surface of each granule while facilitating excellent drainage, making it an indispensable tool for preventing root rot and waterlogging in large containers or garden beds. Being naturally sterile, chemically inert, and pH neutral, Brunnings Perlite provides a clean and stable environment that will not interfere with the delicate nutrient balance of your plants. Whether you are blending high-performance custom potting mixes for indoor collections, succulents, or professional propagation, this high-grade perlite ensures a free-draining and resilient growing medium that promotes vigorous root establishment and long-term plant health.

Best For: Enhancing soil porosity, preventing compaction, and improving drainage in large-scale potting mixes and professional propagation setups.

Key Features

• Enhanced Root Aeration: The irregular granules create vital air spaces in the substrate, preventing compaction and encouraging robust root respiration for faster growth.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
