Expanded Clay Pebbles – fired clay structure for reservoirs and spacing
Expanded Clay Pebbles create a durable, airy physical medium. They are especially helpful where the root zone needs a stable inert support rather than organic soil.
Watering behaviour
- Coarse clay: fired balls keep their shape
- Reservoir use: works in hydro and semi-hydro systems with suitable feeding
- Cachepot spacing: can lift nursery pots away from standing water
- No nutrients: plants still need an appropriate fertilising routine
Using it day to day
In hydroponic growing, roots need access to both oxygen and nutrient solution. In cachepots, a shallow pebble layer can help keep a nursery pot above accidental water, but it does not correct overwatering inside the pot.
What changes in the pot
Clay pebbles do not feed plants. Use a suitable nutrient routine for reservoir systems and keep organic-soil plants in an appropriate potting mix unless they have been adapted to a different setup.
How to use Expanded Clay Pebbles
- Semi-hydro: Use with a reservoir-style pot for inert-substrate setups.
- Rinse first: Rinse until water runs clear to remove dust and fines.
- Re-use: Can be cleaned and re-used after a soak and thorough rinse.
Prep and handling for Expanded Clay Pebbles
- Rinse: A quick rinse removes fines so water moves evenly through the mix.
