 Why leca( Expanded Clay Pellets) is the perfect grow medium for hydroponic greenhouse?               

* Ultra-lightweight
* Ph Neutral
* Poisonless & Tasteless
* Round Pebbles
* Porous Structure

The round clay pebbles do not compress or touch. The uniform space between the pebbles provides even aeration and wetting throughout, allowing roots to fully grow into the medium. The clay surface repels water, but surface tension coats each clay ball in a thin coat of water, perfect conditions for roots. Cracked rocks absorb water like a sponge.It is made of clay with high water storage properties and balanced capillary action to accelerate plant growth.
 

How to Use Hydroponic Clay Balls?

If you've decided to opt for these pebbles as your grow medium, then below is a short guide on how you can use these in your hydroponic system.

First off, you need to soak your clay balls for six to twelve hours, and then rinse them to wash off excess dirt and debris from them.
Next, fill your plant container or tray with clay pebbles. 
After this, you can add your seeds here and there over the bed of pebbles, just as if you were sprinkling salt. You can also transplant seedlings carefully into your container.
Lastly, you need to fill your reservoir with the nutrient solution and set the timer for flooding, as required by your plant.
