Leca Expanded Clay

Leca Expanded Clay

Leca Expanded Clay is a lightweight growing medium made from baked clay pellets, offering a porous structure that lets excess water drain away while air circulates around roots.

Key benefits

• Excellent Drainage
• Air Circulation Around Roots
• Washable & Reusable

Suitable for

Semi-Hydroponics · Orchids · Container Plants · Potting Blends

How to use

• Wash the Leca thoroughly under running water to remove any dust or debris before use.
• For semi-hydroponic growing: Carefully remove your plant from soil, trim any excessive or damaged roots, and gently wash the roots clean of all soil.
• Fill about one-third of your pot (with no drainage holes, or use a cache pot system) with compacted Leca. Position your plant and fill around the roots with more Leca.
• Add water to just below the level of the Leca (to prevent mosquito breeding). Top up water as the level drops. For best results, periodically spray plants with Serbajadi Growth Master FS35 Instant Foliar Spray or add liquid fertiliser to the water reservoir.

Gardening Tip: For traditional potting, use Leca as a drainage layer at the bottom of pots, or mix it with soil to improve aeration and drainage for plants that hate "wet feet." When transitioning plants from soil to pure Leca, some adjustment time is normal – keep an eye on your plant and maintain consistent water levels!
