Mini LECA Pebbles
Aeration • Drainage • Microbial Habitat • Soil Mixes
These Mini LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) Pebbles are made from 100% natural clay, fired at high temperatures in a rotary kiln to create lightweight, porous ceramic spheres. Their stable, pH-neutral structure improves aeration, drainage, and microbial activity—making them an excellent addition to soil mixes, hydroponic systems, and container gardening.
Perfect for tropical plants, houseplants, and living soil systems, Mini LECA can be used in a variety of ways—from soil structure support to mulching and drainage layering.
