The round 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.
