LECA can use as :

🪴Growing Medium - less messy than soil and is naturally neutral, making it a great substrate for indoor plants. These clay pebbles can provide an ideal balance of moisture, food and air for your indoor plants. 

🪴 Drainage - provides a high level of aeration, extremely quick drainage and unrestricted root growth

🪴 Topsoil Dressing - added on top of soil to protect your indoor plants. By adding a layer of aqua clay balls on top of your potting mix you can also greatly reduce the risk of indoor plant pests. 

🪴 Cut Cost - you can use them over and over again (just wash and re-use)

How to use LECA as a growing medium

Soak your aqua clay balls in a bowl for 12-14 hours in order to fully absorb water. 

Select a desired plant (either a cutting that has been propagated in water, or gently clean all the soil from a plant grown in soil).

Find a grow pot that is made of glass, clear or use a net pot (sometimes called hydroponic pots) and sleeve.

Fill up your pot halfway with aqua clay balls and then pop in your cutting in the centre. 

Hold the cutting in place and pour more aqua clay balls around the sides and top of your cutting to plant it in place. 

Then you can add your water (top the pot or sleeve) until it's just under the roots of the plants. How they work is, the clay balls absorb the water, and the roots of your plant then slowly drink the water out from them as they need.. All while keeping the root away from the water.

Place your newly potted cutting in a place that suits it’s light needs and allow the plant to slowly absorb the water through the aqua clay balls at it’s own rate.

Allow the water to completely dry out before refilling to prevent algae growth. Once it’s time to refill, make sure you top the sleeve up with nutrient filled water (to just under the roots).

*** Note : lf using a single pot you can add your water until it's just under the roots of the plants. Your clay balls can start to soak up the water in the pot, while keeping the roots away from the water.
