Manufacturer: Hydroclay
Very happy with this product - reasonable price for a good amount of product. Product quality is satisfactory as well. The only complaint I have was in regards to the packaging - its evident that the bag was not sealed properly - but they shipped anyways despite the fact there was a large hole in it.. It was a bit irritating having to pick everything up and put it back in the bag.. Other than that issue I am very satisfied with this purchase.
So far so good. I use them in the bottom of trays and put clay pots sitting on top so they get some humidity. I do have a portable humidifier, though I don't like to run it on high all day long to keep it at %50. So I keep the water level with the pellet balls as not to over water the plant but give it some more added humidity. I never keep the water level above the pellets so they can't drink and me not be able to control the watering.
I've put a lot of plants that were dying in soil and had root rot in here. Not only did they grow back all their roots, they are thriving! The only downside to this is having to get a nutrient water vs the soil fertilizer I already have. So I will most likely pot my plants back into soil and keep this for troubled plants and plant cuttings. But honestly the best medium by far! Anything will grow in it!
You can put it in the bottom of a flowerpot that does not have drainage. It keeps the moisture.or you can put it on the top of the soil, or right through the soil.Also heard that you can plant a plant in just the pebbles and no soil.I saw this years ago in Europe, and im glad that we can get it now here also
I just got it today, 1day delivery😊 it is not dusty as I expected and what I had been read from the Facebook group. Only have a few cracked 5pcs estimated. My first time to buy Leca, at first I’m worried to receive what other reviews experienced. Over-all I’m happy expect for a bit expensive!
After reading other reviews I was really concerned about the size and quality of the leca. But I'm happily surprised, they're not too big and there were no large clumps like others have received. I'm quite happy with this purchase.
The 5mm - 7mm size was recommended by the manufacturer to replace their clay grow medium. I'm using it to grow Tom Thumb peas - the pictures above show how the plants grow quickly with the right substrate to hold the roots.
Inconsistent pebble sizes and lots of clumped up tiny hydrotons. The pellets are also fragile. I could crushed one inside my palm. Forget about being able to reuses them after cleaning, they just fall apart.
First time ordering and using LECA it worked amazingly and it’s holding up decently well. Quite a few “balls” were broken in half in bag, but that’s not at any fault to the distribution:)
The Hydroclay is great, and works well for my hydroponics. My one complaint is that the pellets are larger than I expected and I can only fit 5-6 in the net cup with my plant and grow medium.
