LECA is short for
lightweight expanded clay aggregate. For plant owners who are
looking for an alternative to soil, leca may be the perfect solution!
Leca is a type of clay that has been heated and expanded to create
lightweight, porous pellets. These pellets can then be used in place of
soil to support plant roots. Unlike soil, leca is resistant to pests and
diseases. No more fungus knats! It drains well and does not compact over
time, making leca an ideal growing medium for plants that require good
drainage. In addition, its reusable and less messy when handling. With
all of these benefits, it's no wonder that leca is becoming increasingly
popular among plant-parents who are looking for a soil-free solution!
