Expanded Clay Aggregate, also known as LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate), consists of lightweight, porous clay pellets fired at high temperatures. As a result, the pellets become strong, durable, and highly absorbent. Because of their porous structure, they provide excellent drainage and aeration. Therefore, they are ideal for a wide range of gardening applications.
Additionally, these clay balls help maintain a balanced moisture level around plant roots. Unlike regular soil, they do not compact over time; thus, roots receive consistent airflow and oxygen, plants grow healthier and stronger.
