Geolite clay pebble grow media -gallon
Clay pebbles (also known as Aliflor, Leca or Hydroton) are little light weight expanded clay balls that can be used alone to grow orchids which appreciate extreme drainage, or can be added to any orchid mix for added drainage and moisture retention. They are also great for hydroponic growing.
Since they are made of clay, they do not break down! The little balls are irregularly shaped and in random sizes from 1/4" to 3/4". This brand is smoother overall than the Hydrofarm Grow!t brand we also carry and slightly heavier.
