SOILY expanded clay (LECA) 8-16 mm

We use expanded clay (LECA) as a drainage layer at the bottom of every planter we repot our plants into. 

It is used as a porous support material that anchors the plant’s root system. It keeps the environment hygienic for plants and is pH neutral. It gives the root system easy access to nutrients in hydroponics. The spaces between the granules ensure good aeration around the root system. The granules can be reused multiple times and eventually processed and recycled.

Particle size: 8-16 mm
Pack size: 1L, 3L, 10L
