This is the smallest size of crushed Leca Balls(1-4mm) and this is recommended only for mixing in potting soil of small plants (Like-Cactus, Succulents etc.). For bigger plants, we should use bigger size of crushed Leca (3-7mm) which is available on our website.

Crushed Leca plays crucial role in roots aeration, hence these crushed Leca should be used in potting mix of small plants. These are used as soil conditioner for plants. It helps in better root growth.

This size of crushed Leca is used as best substitute of Perlite. It is very helpful to ensure fastest drainage in soil. Even after mixing in soil, these crushed Leca balls do not get powdered for many years and we can re-use them. However, this is not possible with Perlite. After using Perlite, that disintegrates much earlier and drainage in soil is not continued.

But, if we use crushed Leca, eternal drainage in soil is observed while ensuring proper roots aeration. We recommend to use it instead of Perlite.

 These balls can absorb water upto some extent. These crushed clay balls are light weight and also used to make light weight soil media in horticulture. If we pour them in water, they will float (We have shown image). It ensures overall better health of plants.

Due to availability of clearly visible air cavities in these clay balls, they ensure proper exchange of gases in soil for better growth of plants. Use of Crushed Leca in soil helps plants in protection from weather adversity also (i.e. Winter and Summer). Leca Balls are used for thermal insulation and filling material in construction industry.

If you wish to use pebbles over the surface of potted plants' soil, you must use these Leca balls (Approximately 20%) in potting mix. Because these clay balls can ensure better aeration of rooting system, even after putting heavy load of soil/pebbles over them. However, if you are using only Vermiculite/ rice husk / Cocopeat powder as a component in your potting medium, there are high chances for blockage of root aeration due to heavy load of soil or pebbles over them.

For mulching or decoration of top layer of potted plants, these crushed Leca are not preferred by most of the plant lovers. All other sizes of clay balls are available with us.

Ph value : 7, An ideal growing medium must not be too acidic or basic. pH value of these clay balls is neutral.

Junk!
Color: 3675 ALL Silver
Good luck getting the back plate back in once you change the battery! You get what you pay for so spend the extra money and buy a better watch not made in China.

Really nice watch!
Color: 3675 ALL Black
Really nice and clean looking watch. Fairly easy to adjust the watch band, with a little patience. Item description stated battery operated, but I don’t think it is as there is no indication that it has a battery in it. Other than that, really decent watch! I would have given it a five star rating if it were battery powered.
