Boost crops in many ways with GROW!T Clay Pebbles plant media. These multipurpose horticultural clay pebbles are clean, pH stable and allow for excellent aeration and drainage. This gives you control over how your plants grow and what goes into their growth. Made from 100% natural clay, their non-uniform size allows them to fill space better and ultimately cover more surface area, creating an ideal climate for beneficial bacteria growth around the root zone.
Horticulture clay balls are technically known as Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, or LECA. These baked clay pellets expand when immersed in water, meaning that GROW!T Clay Pebbles will not float once fully wet. As such, you can plant directly into clay plants and then add liquid fertilizer. In drip irrigation systems, the pebbles can be mixed with other growing media for better capillary uptake.
Clay pebbles can also be used as decoration, a great dressing to top soil or even as makeshift flooring for a greenhouse. Their clever design and spread will even help retain heat in the cold months. Greenhouse Megastore is an official GROW!T supplier with clay balls for plants in multiple sizes to grow LECA plants. Call us Monday-Friday at 1-888-281-9337 to learn more about this growing media..
