EuroClay (also known as LECA – Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate) is a trusted substrate for growers who want clean, stable, and effective root support.
The round pellets create ample air space around roots while holding enough moisture to feed plants between irrigations. Its inert nature makes it ideal for nutrient film technique (NFT), deep water culture (DWC), ebb & flow, and drip irrigation hydroponic systems.
Features
• Premium quality European expanded clay — precisely processed for consistent size, strength, and performance.
• PH-stable and inert — won’t shift pH around the root zone, helping nutrients stay available to plants.
• Excellent water retention with superior drainage — balanced porosity holds moisture while preventing waterlogging.
• Low salt, no harmful additives — clean substrate free from sodium or nuisance chemicals that harm sensitive roots.
• Reusable and durable — withstands multiple crop cycles without breaking down.
• Compatible with hydroponic nutrients and systems — works seamlessly with soluble hydroponic formulas and aquaponic setups including HY-GEN® HYDRO GROWTH and HYDRO BLOOM.
