LECA Pebbles – 10–20mm

Aeration • Drainage • Inert Structure • Soil & Hydro Use

These 10–20mm LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) Pebbles are a durable, mineral-based substrate made from 100% natural clay. Heated at high temperatures in a rotary kiln, they expand into lightweight, porous ceramic spheres that promote airflow, improve drainage, and create ideal conditions for root development and microbial activity.

Perfect for both soil-based growing and hydroponic systems, these larger LECA pebbles can be used to lighten mixes, build drainage layers, or serve as a standalone substrate.
