Leca Clay Orchid/Hydroponic Grow Media - 2 lbs.

awesome grow media. regular rocks or pebbles sink in water but these actually have a little buoyancy so they float. this allows your plant roots to get in between and all around with ease, allowing faster growth. very strong base as well, they do not fall out of the pot but at the same time do not push down on the roots. perfect product

Great for growing indoor plants

The hydroponic grow media arrived on time and is in good shape. However, the bag that it came in did rip open so the individual media balls were rolling around the box. None of them escaped the box though so that was fine. I only had one problem with the product, which was that it had a lot of fine particle and dust from the product itself. In other words it was really dirty. I had to wash it and rinse it off about 5 or 6 times until it was clean. The only reason this mattered is that I used it for aquaponics. If I would have left it, my fish tank would have became extremely cloudy. It would have been fine if I strictly used it for hydroponics. Other than that it has been a great product. It holds air really well, is durable, and makes a good grow media for plants.I recommend this product to all hydroponic users. The only reason I gave it four stars was because it was dirty. I would have gave it five stars if I used it for hydroponics for sure because it is a good product and I bought it at a good price.

The media could not be loaded.  I originally purchased this for my plants but I decided to experiment and place in my shrimp tank. I thought I had only one shrimp left . But to my surprise after placing them in tank I had shrimp coming out and swimming 😳 now I have place them in other fish tank and they are happy also (soak them until they sink to bottom of your bowl then add to tank ) this way the stones will stay down in the bottom of your tank this work for me I’ll update

The size of the stones are just as pictured. I did water my orchid from the bottom and the leca did absorb it as stated. So far I am pleased with this item.

I got these for my orchids that were dying horribly , root bound and suffocated in a small pot given to me as a gift. I needed to save them.the clay balls are round , no breaks, 40 mins soaked in hot water, drained and mixed in a clay pot with bark and tiny bits of mossa week in my orchids began to breathe and regain areal roots. a few Months in phenomenal they are happy orchids ..this product is highly recommended they sprung up so many roots bottom and top and are firm blooming beautiful

Yes it work great . It is a great value.

It's fine, but the diameter is much bigger than what's shown in the picture. Because of that, I couldn't use it for what I'd planned. But, it was less dusty and didn't require as much rinsing as I expected.
