How to use Expanded Clay Pebbles into Hydroponics?
Expanded Clay Pebbles are made from 100% natural clay. They are clean, pH stable and offer great aeration and drainage in hydroponics, especially in flood and drain, deep water culture and drip feed systems. Due to their unique structure and ability to cover a large surface area, they offer the ideal environment to foster beneficial bacterial growth around the root zone, leading to naturally healthier plants. Expanded clay can be directly used as horticulture growing media after washing clear.
