After much research about Leca, I decided to give it a try for my plants that have already been growing in water. I snipped several holes in the bottom and side of the bag and unzipped the top and rinsed them until the water was clear. Then I put them in a bowl of water with a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and microwaved it to just under boiling. Once it was cooled a couple of hours later I added some very diluted plant food to each of my 2 hanging pothos and my chinese evergreen and they are doing great. I've seen where some have used them with succulents, but I'm not that brave yet. Plants that can be grown in water I think will do well in Leca since it holds onto the water it doesn't seem to evaporate as fast compared to being in water alone. It also looks nice through the clear bowls and you can still monitor the root growth. It is true that because of the extremely light structure of the Leca, it does float, but once filled with the plant and the water only filled to a couple of inches from the top it works great!

Clay pebbles are a boon for orchid enthusiasts and here's why. These lightweight, porous, and inert pebbles provide excellent aeration and drainage, promoting optimal root health by preventing waterlogged soil and root rot. Orchids are epiphytes, accustomed to growing in the air or on other surfaces, and clay pebbles mimic their natural habitat. They also ensure that the delicate orchid roots have sufficient access to oxygen and nutrients. Furthermore, the pebbles offer stability, preventing the orchid from toppling over. Easy to use and reusable, clay pebbles are an indispensable medium for successful orchid cultivation, ensuring thriving and beautiful blooms.

This was my first time using Leca so didn’t know exactly what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised when I got this product. It was bagged very nicely and cleaning the Leca was easy. The only con I have is that I wish it came with a little bit more especially since I have multiple plants I wanted to switch to this growing medium. Other than that good product.

Awesome! Helps maintaining moisture

What a versatile product. I’ve used it for so many things! I’ve grown plants entirely in lecca, I’ve used it at the bottom of terrariums for a water reservoir, I’ve used it as a topper for my potted plants. It’s visually appealing to look at and functional. Just make sure you rinse it before you use it because there’s a lot of dust so I just rinse them in a pasta strainer before I use them.

These are pretty good for the price! They aren't the pretty and perfectly round leca that you typically see, but as long as you're okay with that then they are functional non-the-less and you get a pretty decent amount. Just be aware that there were a decent amount of broken pieces and a ton of dust that needed to be washed off.

This was my first Leca purchase! Upon reading other reviews and watching videos pertaining to leca, I feel as though I lucked out and made the right choice. I’ve been using it now for a few weeks and it’s been so simple to use. The leca was a little dusty, so a rinse is necessary before use. I’d recommend rinsing outside as to not get the dust in your home or drain. I’ve began transferring my plants and even started new props with this leca because the absorbency is amazing. A friend of mine wanted to know there I got it after seeing it, because compared to what she has, this leca is beautifully round, small and neater than what she currently uses. I’d highly recommend!
