Green Live® 5 Ltrs Clay Balls LECA Hydrotons 15mm | Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate for Hydroponics Aeroponics Aquaponics & Soil Improvement

Premium Quality LECA: 100% natural, reusable, and pH-neutral clay balls ideal for hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics systems.. Aeration - Unlike soil that compacts and reduces available oxygen over time, hydroton retains its shape and allows for continuous oxygen exchange, keeping your plant roots healthy. PH Neutral - In gardening, it is important to have a growing medium that isn't too acidic or basic. This material is a pH neutral product, so you won't have to worry about any nutrient lockup or plant health issues due to unstable pH. Sterile - It is produced in large rolling kilns that 'bake' it into its final shape. Since high temperatures are used, hydroton comes to the gardener as a sterile product. This is highly beneficial because you don't want to introduce disease and harmful bacteria into your garden. Water Retention & Drainage - This material is filled with tiny pores, much like a 'micro sponge'. Because of this, it holds the perfect amount of water and drains any excess to prevent overwatering
