Leca Clay Balls

LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) clay balls are a game-changer for plant enthusiasts looking to level up their growing setup. These porous, pH-neutral clay pellets provide excellent drainage, aeration, and root support — making them ideal for semi-hydroponic and hydroponic growing systems.

Why Use LECA?

• Superior drainage — prevents root rot by eliminating soggy soil conditions
• Excellent aeration — allows oxygen to reach roots freely for healthier, faster growth
• Reusable & sustainable — rinse, sterilize, and reuse indefinitely
• Pest-resistant — inhospitable environment for common soil pests like fungus gnats
• pH neutral — won't alter the chemistry of your nutrient solution

Best Used For

LECA clay balls work beautifully with tropical houseplants including Monsteras, Pothos, Philodendrons, Alocasias, and more. They can be used as a standalone growing medium or mixed with soil to improve drainage in traditional pots.

How to Use

Rinse thoroughly before first use to remove dust. Soak in water for 24 hours to allow the clay to fully absorb moisture before introducing your plant. For semi-hydroponics, pair with a diluted liquid fertilizer added to your water reservoir.
