DESCRIPTION
LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) is becoming one of the most popular and versatile substances in horticulture. As a soil component or medium, it retains moisture while providing excellent drainage for excess water. Many of our customers use LECA in a clear container of vase and put node or leaf cuttings into the LECA and keep the container roughly 1/3 full of water to watch the propagation root quickly and know right away when it's ready for a real potting mix to continue to grow long-term! Also works well as a drainage layer in the bottom of a pot or as a soil topper for a unique desert or Martian theme!
They arrived quickly and were easy to use
It was exactly what I wanted…thank you Travis & Team!
I discovered this stuff a few months back and decided to give it a try. I love it. I put the balls in the bottom of my pots plus mix a little in with my soil. I use for everything from African violets/Orchids to cactus & succulents. I also mix in the Calcined Clay and use both the balls and clay as toppers to not only make it look good but provide a way to maintain moisture. Both the balls and clay help to keep my plants from sitting in water which most plants don’t like for their roots. They prefer good drainage. Great product guys. I just placed a large order. I’m going to introduce my mom to it too. Wanted to see how it worked first.
This LECA has much smaller balls than the other LECA I had been using and it’s retaining moisture a lot better! I bought it at Logan’s, a local garden center, and will definitely be back for more. Super happy with my purchase!
