How Vitax Hydroleca Clay Pebbles Work

Vitax Hydroleca Clay Pebbles are made from expanded clay, which gives them their distinctive lightweight, porous structure. The pebbles’ unique design ensures that they absorb and hold moisture while allowing excess water to drain away easily. This prevents water retention around the roots, which can lead to rot, while still providing your plants with the moisture they need. Additionally, the pebbles' texture promotes better oxygen flow to the roots, improving root development and preventing compaction in the soil or growing medium.
