Review: Detailed review for those looking at this as a cheap soil amendment or hydroponic option. - I detailed review from an experienced Leca user, and tropical plant mom. The first photo shows what this leca looks like straight out of the bag, it is pretty dusty but there wasnt a layer of sediment build up in the bottom of the bag like you get with a lot of cheap leca. Second photo is with the flash on (so color is brighter than in person) and shows what it looks like after the first rinse. 3rd and 4th photos are the water from first rinse, and sediment build up, to show why all new use rinsing of leca should be done out side and this water should not go into your pipes. I ended up rinsing this leca a total of 6 times per colander full, agitating it all really well with each rinse. I had two colander fulls total from the one bag. The 5th picture is after a 72 hour soak if the leca, in which i changed the water three times, to try to rid it from as many particals that wouldve ended up building up on plant stems and roots. (This is good practice for all leca). Afterwords i fully dried it by putting it in a 250 degree oven for 40 minutes, because i didnt have the patience to let it air dry, also will kill off any bacteria that may have been collected during its travels. The last photo shows the leca after its been fully rehydrated after that complete treatment. All and all, this leca was a bit dirtier than maybe some bigger brands, and there were some pretty un-uniform pieces here and there, its also a little darker, but you get a lot more bang for your buck if youre willing to clean it properly, than you will with most other brands, and it seems to be better quality than most of the cheap stuff on here. Functionality wise, this is a great deal for a great price, i got a very minimal amount of tiny or broken pieces, it holds in water well and stays moist for about as long as any other leca this size. So if youre debating, i say buy it. Theyre the perfect size for chunky blend soils, ive put a large amount of the bag into my organic soil less blend for my tropical plants, and will use the rest to propagate or for humidity trays. I also believe theyd work just as well for hydropic growing. Will be buying again.
Review: Will order some more very soon... - These are nice leca balls, pretty clean stuff, nice size..

## Features

- 【Plant Growth】 By providing a balance of water, air, and nutrients, clay balls create an optimal environment for plant roots to thrive, leading to healthier and more robust plant growth
- 【Proper Absorbency】 Made from natural clay, the LECA balls are heated at high temperatures to expand, creating a lightweight and porous structure that can absorb a significant amount of water to hold moisture and allow for excellent aeration
- 【High Versatility】 LECA can be used for various types of houseplants, including monstera, orchids, snake plants and so on. While some gardeners favor in using it in growth systems, from hydroponics to soil mixes
- 【Excellent Drainage】 The spaces between the clay balls allow excess water to drain away easily, preventing waterlogging that can lead to root rot
- 【Notice】 Please rinse the LECA with running water or soak in water overnight before use. The LECA balls are reusable if you maintain and clean it properly

Used this for a reptile enclosure I made a handful of months ago. It provides really great drainage and I definitely also recommend this for plants as well.
