Key Benefits of LECA

• Moisture Retention: Porous clay balls hold water at the root zone for consistent hydration.

• Propagation Powerhouse: Use in a clear vase with water at height to watch roots form and know exactly when to pot up.
• Versatile Uses: Perfect as a bottom drainage layer, top dressing for a desert or Martian aesthetic, or full hydroponic medium.

How to Use LECA

• Propagation: Fill container onethird full of LECA and add water until just below the top of the balls. Insert stem or node cuttingsroots will form visibly in days.
• Drainage Layer: Place a 12inch layer at the bottom of any pot to improve airflow and prevent sitting water.
