Upgrade your plant care setup with LECA (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate)—one of the most versatile horticulture mediums for modern indoor gardening. Used as a soil component or a standalone growing medium, LECA helps retain moisture while still providing excellent drainage, reducing the risk of waterlogged roots.
A popular way to use LECA is for water propagation in a clear container or vase: place node or leaf cuttings into the clay pebbles and keep the container roughly 1/3 full of water. This makes it easy to monitor root growth, see when water needs topping up, and know when your cutting is ready to move into a potting mix for long-term growth.
LECA is also great as:
- a drainage layer at the bottom of pots
- a soil topper for a clean, decorative finish
- a creative topper for a unique desert / “Martian” theme look
Key benefits
