Leca , clay pebbles 10 - 20 mm, 4l

Ceramsite - a natural material used for draining of pot plant cultivations, as well as creating compositions enclosed within glass, known as “forests in a jar”.

• ​Improves the condition of plants - using a mixture of soil and ceramsite in plant pots makes the substrate for plants loosened, which improves root respiration of the plant.
• Irrigation system under control creating a ceramsite drainage layer on the bottom of a plant pot enables draining excess water and protecting the plant’s roots against overwatering and rotting.
• Inhibits the growth of weeds and mould - forming a surface layer made of ceramsite in the top layer of a flower pot inhibits the growth of weeds, as well as inhibits decay processes, thus protecting the plants against formation of mould.
• Perfect for compositions enclosed in glass - the ceramsite drainage layer formed in composition of plants enclosed in glass allows it to maintain the right moisture circulation inside such a forest in a jar.
• Coarse fraction - 10 - 20 mm - particularly useful for drainage in plant pots with large openings in the bottom through which the finer fractions could fall out.

Ceramsite is a natural granulate created in the process of clay firing. It is perfect for preparing a specialised substrate for plant cultivation - especially for those plants that have strictly defined requirements in terms of substrate water and air content. Coarse fraction (10 - 20 mm) ceramsite is fantastic for creating drainage layers for large plants grown in large pots with large openings in the bottom through which the finer fractions could fall out. Ceramsite of this grain size is also useful in its other roles – as a drainage layer in the ‘forest in glass’ compositions, as well as for forming layers on the top surface of plant pots. Thanks to its high porosity, ceramsite protects against accumulation of excess water in a plant pot, a situation which leads to formation of mould. The right amount of ceramsite absorbs excess water, thus helping with water management in a plant pot.

Ceramsite used on surface layers of plant pots also constitutes an interesting decorative element that inhibits the growth of weeds and maintains stable humidity around the plant. Another method for maintaining the right level of humidity in air is creating special bowls filled with ceramsite and located on sills next to plants that do not like dry air.
