The pebbles are much bigger than I normally get. They cleaned up in a bucket of water very well. Hold water well., so less watering.My orchids seem to be doing well .

I've started using leca for semi-hydro setups, and this has worked well for me! This leca is definitely very dusty, so you really should soak it overnight and rinse multiple times. That process I find to be a little bit of a pain compared to other growing media (perlite, pon, soil, etc), but as far as I know this particular leca isn't any worse than other brands of leca.Be sure not to dump the dust down your drain as it can damage your plumbing - but it should be totally fine to dump the water outdoors.I did use some of it without soaking first, and it definitely dried out way too fast. But once I replaced it with some that I had soaked previously, it has remained pretty consistently moist as I was hoping!

Best thing is the value. Good amount of product for the price-- better than mostly listings. I use these for aerating the soil in my house plants (just do a bottom layer in the pots).

I got this instead of an organic version because I’m using it to build up the substrate in the back part of an aquarium and wanted to save some money. Hopefully this will not impact freshwater shrimp that will be going into this tank.The very fact that it floats when dry IS a plus because it will not add significant weight to the aquarium, which is why it was recommended to me in the past and which is why I’m using it again. It will eventually take on water and absorb fertilizers and slowly redistribute it to the plants as the roots get to it. Do not think of it as the visible part of your aquarium bottom. You need to enclose it in metal-free nylon mesh bags or some other enclosure, then put the visible substrate like gravel, aquasoil or sand on top of it.In any case, if you were going to use it for house plants like orchids, it’s a beautiful mix of dark chocolate colors and a better size mix, in my opinion, than the bigger ones found in the organic brand. It looks excellent for orchids as it is porous and retains humidity without being rough or disintegrating. It can easily be reused, as well.It is dusty and needs to be rinsed before use, but then expanded clay will always be like this as the balls rub against each other in manufacturing and shipping. When I opened the bag, the expanded clay balls felt very slightly humid; however, when I weighed the bag to make sure I had not been short changed (like what happened to me with another brand in the past), it weighed exactly 11 lbs, so one extra pound was delivered! â¤ï¸I would give this 4-1/2 stars only because of the fact that it’s not organic and if used for food grade plant growth, would potentially affect the food quality. I’m also 🤞🻠that for the same reason it will not harm my invertebrates.I’ve kept shrimp for many years. If I suspect that this is negatively impacting my shrimp, I’ll put an update in a couple of months, today being 10/21/2023.

This is my favorite LECA and my plants love it too!I’ve never seen my plants grow so fast, ESPECIALLY my Hoyas which are notoriously slow growers! The first two pics are some monstera cuttings that had no roots when I propagated them and one put out a new leaf and the other is working on one! The third picture is my Hoya kerii cuttings that came from a dormant plant that hadn’t put on new growth in like two years, and now each cutting has a new leaf and healthy roots!It absorbs water and actually sinks to the bottom and doesn’t float like some other brands, which makes me feel like it’s better for my plants (I mostly use it in jars with no wicking or ventilation, so this does make a difference!).I’m buying this again now and will definitely use this brand in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised at the size of this bag when it came in. It's hard to buy leca online because it's hard to gauge size, but this bag is about the size of a smaller bag of potting soil.

ACCORDING TO BOTH SPECS AND DIRECTIONS PEBBLES MUST BE CLEANSE AND SOAKED FOR 12 HOURS.LET ME TELL YOU I SOAKED MINE FOR OVER 24 HOURS AND THEY REMAIN THE SAME. AGAIN THESE 'CLAY PEBBLES DON'T EXPAND' AS ADVERTISED SO THIS MEANS IT DOES NOT RETAIN MOSITURE FOR PLANTS! PS. THE ONLY THING THESE PEBBLES DO IS ACT AS A FILLERS IN POTS.

Great quality. Ordered a different brand at one point and there were a lot of misshapen and broken ones, this one is much cleaner.

Not too dusty and my plants seem happy in it after a good rinse and a soak.
