LECA PEBBLES 10-20mm

These pebbles are a ceramic, purely mineral substrate made out of expanded clay that has been heated to high temperatures inside of a rotary kiln. These pebbles are porous and provide a home for beneficial microbes as well as great aeration to the root zone, which can speed up plant growth.  Ideal for drip-feed, deep water culture, and flood and drain systems.  Also great for tropical houseplants. 

BENEFITS 

  • High total porosity provides excellent root ventilation and oxygenation to plants
  • Extremely stable in both pH and EC
  • Excellent draining capacity
    • Great for soil aeration and drainage 

    APPLICATION 

    • Soil Ingredient: Mix with the other components of a soilless media (coco coir, peat, compost, etc.) to improve its physical and chemical properties at a rate of 20% to 40% 

    • Mulching: 5-10cm layer placed on top of the soil substrate prevents weed growth, reduces moisture loss due to evaporation 
    • Hydroponics: Can be used alone or in combination as the ideal inert substrate for hydroponic and aquaponic crops
    • Drainage/Aeration:  Place a layer of the material 3-10cm thick, below the growing medium in a container

    ANALYSIS: 

    •  Made from 100% natural clay
