Growing Medium: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $28.99 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $16.00 at volume, on a typical 14-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For growing medium, the drivers are capacity, material, outlet configuration, secondary containment, uv resistance, fitting size, level indication, nitrogen content — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing wholesale and bulk listings show horticultural growing media ranging from about $12 to $30 per unit for common bagged formats, with bulk totes and yard-scale products pricing lower on a per-unit basis. The biggest price drivers are media type and specs: coco-based blends, perlite aeration mixes, and premium branded substrates sit above plain potting soil, while larger packaging (pallet, super-stack, tote, or cubic-yard bulk) reduces unit cost. Realistic supplier routes are hydroponic wholesalers, bulk soil/media sellers, and importers/distributors; fully custom printed or custom-formulated media would usually price above these published benchmarks rather than below them.
