The LECA® Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate – Round is one of the most trusted mediums in both professional horticulture and home gardening. Its round, uniform shape makes it especially versatile, whether used alone in hydroponic systems, as a decorative top layer, or blended with other substrates for improved soil performance.

Each ball’s porous interior absorbs water and nutrients, slowly releasing them back to the plant’s root system, ensuring a steady supply of moisture while preventing excess saturation. This balance of aeration and retention creates a healthier root zone, reducing stress and encouraging vigorous growth.

In hydroponic setups, round LECA® balls provide stable plant support while allowing excellent oxygen exchange, helping roots stay strong and disease-free. For potted plants, they significantly reduce the risk of compaction, keeping soil loose and airy.

Aesthetically, LECA® adds a modern, minimalist finish to pots and planters, enhancing their decorative appeal. With its eco-friendly and reusable properties, it is also a sustainable choice that reduces waste in gardening.
