8 REASONS LECA IS BENEFICIAL FOR PLANTS:

1. Excellent Drainage: LECA provides optimal aeration and drainage for plant roots. Its porous structure allows excess water to drain away, preventing waterlogging and ensuring the roots receive sufficient oxygen.

2. Moisture Retention: Despite its excellent drainage properties, LECA retains moisture within its porous structure. This helps create a well-balanced environment for plants, preventing overwatering and underwatering.

3. Inert and Sterile: LECA is an inert and sterile growing medium, meaning it does not contain any nutrients or harmful pathogens. This allows for better control over the nutrient content of the growing medium, as growers can provide the specific nutrients needed for their plants.

4. Lightweight: Being lightweight, LECA is easy to handle and transport. It reduces the overall weight of potted plants, making them more manageable, especially for larger containers or hanging planters.

5. Insulation: LECA provides insulation to plant roots, protecting them from extreme temperature fluctuations. This is particularly beneficial in both outdoor and indoor settings.

6. pH Neutral: LECA is pH neutral, providing a stable foundation for plant growth. This neutrality allows growers to adjust and control the pH levels of the nutrient solution more effectively.

7. Longevity: LECA is a durable and long-lasting growing medium. It does not decompose or compact over time, providing a stable environment for plant roots to establish and grow.

8. Versatility: LECA can be used alone or mixed with other growing mediums, offering flexibility in its application. It is suitable for a wide range of plants, from houseplants to hydroponic systems.
