Hydrogarden PLANT!T 10L Clay Pebbles Bag

Product Information

Growstonesare touted as the more environmentally friendly medium for those concerned with the strip-mining aspects of clay pebbles. Whether you’re starting seeds or growing mature and bushy plants, expanded clay pebbles are an excellent growing medium of choice.

Growers tend to pick the substrates that tend to give the highest harvest yields, however at London Grow we feel it’s important that you have a good understanding of the substrates available so you can pick the best grow medium for your needs. When you are in an area where water is scarce, clay pebbles can make the most of the water you add to them.

This will help reduce time spent in watering, and also avoid use of weed-killing chemicals and you’ll be doing your part for sustainable development.

They help to keep the roots of your plants cooler and can improve the overall health of your plants. Hydroculture plant roots have been specially adapted to grow in hydrogranules, which creates a smaller, more fleshy and hardier root system.

Liners: Modern pots and planters come in all types of materials from ceramic, natural, composite, metal and fibreglass to create that wow factor in their setting. If you’d like to experiment with using lightweight expanded clay aggregate as a potting medium for your plants, the process will most likely involve transitioning your plants from soil to LECA. You can crush the medium to increase saturation or you can keep them whole, use small net pots, and cover the seed with a couple of pebbles. In some systems (with cooler climates, drought-tolerant crops, and/or constant irrigation) this is not an issue. Products such as Biogreen Totall Mix contains white and black peat, perlite, and organic worm humus.Clay pebbles are very lightweight and have a large surface area, which makes them ideal for growing plants. There isn’t any reason it should be killing them unless the top cover gets fungus or algae accumulation over time. They are great to retain moisture and keep your plants hydrated, along with many minerals and nutrients fed to your beautiful plants. Our pebbles are also irregularly shaped, increasing their surface area compared to rounded pebbles thus allowing the plants more contact with nutrient solutions.

The pores in the pebbles, the space between them, and their superior drainage function keeps air circulating so roots get plenty of oxygen.For plants in soil the key size in determining the maturity and fullness of a plant is the diameter of the grow pot. Clay pebbles are an excellent growing medium for many indoor plants, especially in diy hydroponic systems. Some plants are better suited to growing in clay pellets than others due to their roots structure, moisture needs, and general hardiness. These clay pebbles can be used over and over again; when it’s time to repot, simply take them out and give them a good rinse, then use them the same way you did before!
