Hydrogarden PLANT!T 10L Clay Pebbles Bag

Product Information

We thought it was the right time of year to talk about how worms transform organic matter into nutrient-rich castings. Plants in hydroponic gardens need less energy to develop roots; thus, more energy is diverted for plant growth.

If you are in between crops, then you can save some time by just flushing out your entire system with a pH-neutral solution instead, rather than removing the pebbles. They are consistently oval-shaped, which makes it easier to remove your plant from the medium when repotting, or re-using the LECA. Drainage: Traditional indoor plant pots have drainage holes and stand in saucers to allow excess water to drain freely. Learn how to use leca for your plants, and grow plants without soil using our top LECA ball recommendations.This growing medium also has a high-level pH, so you need to be conscious of the nutrient solution’s pH level added to your plants, so they remain healthy.

No matter what you may be growing, one of the most important things to remember when using clay pebbles is that the pebbles should never be allowed to completely dry out. Unlike soil, coco coir is completely inert meaning you will need to provide your plants with all of the nutrients it needs to optimise healthy growth. These clever little granules are manufactured from baked and expanded clay pellets and provide hydroculture plants with optimum conditions to thrive, as well as providing improved drainage and root aeration when used with potting mixes. Pebbles that haven’t been fully saturated before use, or those that have dried up during the growing process, can end up floating, which could cause blockages in your hydroponic system. The flat foam should not be allowed to continually be exposed to water because it will have logging issues.This not only helps reduce the chance of overwatering but also allows your plant the possibility to receive more nutrition due to the increased amount of irrigations you can now provide it.
