Leca Hydroton
Hydroton clay aggregate is a
popular alternative planting
medium for soil, perlite, peat and rockwool.
These reusable clay pebbles leave
plenty of room for air
transport and root development while retaining moisture.
Hydroton clay pebbles or rocks are
made from pH neutral
clay.
Their air to moisture ratio makes
them ideal for
hydroponics.
They can be used to fill plastic
net cups in aeroponic
and NFT Nutrient Film Technique systems, as a medium for drip
irrigation
systems, or as a medium for container gardening.
Hydroton is an expanded clay
medium manufactured in
Germany and is well suited for growing larger plants like tomatoes and
peppers.
It holds water extremely well and
offers good capillary
action.
The 50 liter bag will fill about
4x 5gal containers.
Perfect for passive, wick, and
subirrigation use,
individual hydroculture pots or hydroponic systems.
Reuse over and over by rinsing out
roots then sterilizing
in a very mild bleach solution about 1/2 cup per gallon of water.
Rinse well before using.
