Description

Expanded Clay Balls – 5L or 10L Bag (8–16mm)

Expanded Clay Balls, also known as LECA or Hydroton, are a premium lightweight growing medium for hydroponics, aquaponics, and indoor plants. Made from high-quality clay, they are stable, low in inherent EC, and designed to give your plants the best possible growing environment.

Why Use Expanded Clay Balls?

• High-quality material: Made from pure clay, ensuring consistency and durability.

• Low EC & plant-safe: Inert and stable, with no added salts or chemicals that could harm your plants.

• Excellent drainage & aeration: The round shape and porous structure improve root oxygenation while preventing waterlogging.

• Non-compacting: Maintains structure over time without breaking down.

Versatile Growing Medium

Clay balls can be used alone or mixed with other substrates such as coco coir or perlite. They are ideal for forming a drainage layer at the bottom of pots, preventing root rot and improving water flow. Their lightweight nature makes them easier to handle than gravel while still providing strong root support.

Perfect for Hydroponics & Aquaponics

Suitable for all hydroponic systems, including deep water culture, flood and drain, drip systems, and nutrient film technique. Their stable, inert nature means they won’t affect nutrient solution pH or EC levels.

Additional Uses

• Prevent pests by adding a top layer to pots.

• Support root health and microbial life when combined with Great White Mycorrhizae or other beneficial fungi.

• Decorative top dressing for indoor plants while helping retain moisture in the soil below.

Available in 5L or 10L bags with an 8–16mm size range.
