Product Information

When you are in an area where water is scarce, clay pebbles can make the most of the water you add to them. If you are in between crops, then you can save some time by just flushing out your entire system with a pH-neutral solution instead, rather than removing the pebbles. The place I bought them from also has lots of fertilizer for sale and the clay absorbed the smell of ammonia from the fertilizer. Misters set to bursts lasting four to 10 seconds every two or three hours will bring on germination. By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your houseplants stay healthy and hydrated all year round!

Beginner and Professional growers across the globe use a variety of growing mediums including soil, coco, and clay pebbles. There you have it – all the facts we can find to help you when choosing the suitable growing medium for your soilless garden. Now, we understand the process, make sure that the Clay Pebbles continue to nourish and grow your plants. When investigating the sustainability of your LECA, a good rule of thumb is to choose a product that lists the origin or place of manufacture (many don’t), and to choose products from established brands.It is necessary to crush the Clay Pebbles into smaller pieces from their original size to create a texture that holds more water, perfect for seeds to germinate. Clay pebbles are placed alongside your plants or as a base layer to allow plants to get the right amount of air and water through them. This is especially good for when they are used as the standalone medium as there is no chance of damage to the root zone which can occur with other brands that have a more ‘jagged’ shape.

Hydroton is one of our first recommendations for small growers using media bed systems like the Hughey Aqua Farm or Dutch buckets. Although most commonly used as a sole substrate in recirculating hydroponic systems such as drip or flood and drain systems, clay pebbles can also be used by soil and coco growers as a base layer when potting (to increase drainage) and as a top layer (to reduce the evaporation from the top of the growing medium caused by grow lights). Wet the clay beads with rainwater to keep the pores from stopping up due to excess minerals in tapwater. Clay pebbles are lightweight and have the needed space inside to catch air and release it when needed by plants.Please note all measurements are approximate and can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of our pots.
