Discover the modern way to grow healthier plants with superior drainage and aeration! Serbajadi Leca Expanded Clay (Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) is a versatile growing medium made from baked clay pellets that provide the perfect environment for plant roots to thrive. Popular with indoor plant enthusiasts and serious gardeners alike, Leca offers exceptional drainage, air circulation, and long-lasting performance for both indoor and outdoor plants.

Whether you're transitioning houseplants to semi-hydroponics, improving drainage in potted plants, or looking for a clean, pest-free growing medium, Serbajadi Leca Expanded Clay delivers outstanding results. Sterile, reusable, and virtually indestructible, it's a smart investment that keeps your plants happy for years to come.

Why Choose Serbajadi Leca Expanded Clay?

• Excellent Drainage – Porous structure allows excess water to drain away from roots, preventing root rot and overwatering issues.
• Superior Aeration – Spaces between pellets allow air to circulate around roots, promoting healthier root systems.
• Lightweight & Easy to Handle – Much lighter than soil, making it easier to move and work with plants.
• Long-Lasting & Reusable – Doesn't break down over time; can be washed and reused for many years.
• Sterile & Clean – Free from diseases, pests, and soil-borne pathogens for healthier plants.
• Versatile Applications – Use as a complete growing medium, drainage layer, or mixed with soil to improve structure.

Ideal For:

Indoor houseplants, semi-hydroponic growing, orchids, aroids (monstera, philodendron, pothos), succulents, drainage layers in pots, soil amendment for improved aeration, decorative top dressing, outdoor container plants, and any plants that benefit from excellent drainage and air circulation.

How To Use

• Wash the Leca thoroughly under running water to remove any dust or debris before use.
• For semi-hydroponic growing: Carefully remove your plant from soil, trim any excessive or damaged roots, and gently wash the roots clean of all soil.
• Fill about one-third of your pot (with no drainage holes, or use a cache pot system) with compacted Leca. Position your plant and fill around the roots with more Leca.
• Add water to just below the level of the Leca (to prevent mosquito breeding). Top up water as the level drops. For best results, periodically spray plants with Serbajadi Growth Master FS35 Instant Foliar Spray or add liquid fertiliser to the water reservoir.

Pro Tip: For traditional potting, use Leca as a drainage layer at the bottom of pots, or mix it with soil to improve aeration and drainage for plants that hate "wet feet." When transitioning plants from soil to pure Leca, some adjustment time is normal – keep an eye on your plant and maintain consistent water levels!
