NOTE: Expanded Clay is used in Aquaponics, Hydroponics and has been used in pot plants. This product cannot be used in Pond Plants that will be fully submerged in water as this product will float. 

Very versatile:

1. Drainage - As a base layer, expanded clay absorbs excessive moisture, stores it and returns it to the plant as needed. This guarantees sufficient aeration and minimises water logging or mould formation. Place 1-2 cm of clay into the planter, cover it with a separating fleece and fill up the pot with soil.

2. Dehydration - Humidity is stored in plant pots even better with an additional cover layer  over the normal soil. At the same time, the terracotta-coloured spheres cover Mediterranean flair. Fill 3-6 cm of the clay into the pot as the bottom layer and as a cover layer.

3. Mixed with Soil - When combined with soil, expanded clay guarantees an ideal ground structure. The soil is loosened, allowing more nutrients and humidity to be stored. Mix the clay with soil in about equal parts in a pot. Then insert the plant and add water.

4. Semi Culture - You can also use the clay on its own, its high water retention and low weight makes the clay suitable for most balcony and patio planting.  Fill the planter completely with the clay, add the plant with soil clod and water well.
