Where to by Zeolite in Brisbane?

Post by mfres6 »

Hi all,

I am gathering supplies for Spring repotting and am hoping to give the Diatomite and Zeolite mix a go. I have read a heap of posts on the subject and have managed to source some Diatomite from Willawong. I am hoping that someone can tell me where to purchase Zeolite from in the Brisbane South area? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Matt

Hi Matt

Doesn't the same place sell zeolite? I found some at a produce/farm supply place at Acacia Ridge, but unfortunately only in the 1-2mm size. They said they could order the larger 2-7mm size but there would most likely be a minimum order. I am on the southside also so maybe could go in on the order.

Anyone else in Bris want some and like to get involved?

I can't remember the name of the place but it is the retail arm of Grow Force and is just of Beaudesert Rd. Give me a PM and we can talk further if you wish. I would also like to know where you got the diatomite.

I use zeolite in my aquariums, I buy it in 10 kilo bags from pool stores if I remember correctly. It is 1-2mm in size though.

Hi Guys,

The Bimer Bonsai Club (North side Brisbane) sells Zeolite to their members. It is 2mm or so,and I have been using it in my mix for a number of years.
We sell small bags - maybe 2-3kg for around $5.

Good luck :D

Still looking for options. I checked with the Produce store and they can get the 2-6mm but we would need to order a pallet which is 40 bags. I will get on to friends in Coffs Harbour who get it from there.
