LECA Maya Growing Medium

Improve your plant care routine with LECA, or Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, a reusable, soil-free growing medium that promotes strong root health, balanced hydration, and excellent aeration. These lightweight, porous clay balls create the perfect environment for plant roots by allowing oxygen to flow freely while gradually releasing moisture—helping prevent root rot and overwatering. Ideal for hydroponics, semi-hydroponics, and soil-free growing, LECA also works beautifully as a soil amendment to improve drainage in traditional potting mixes.

Versatile and easy to use, LECA supports healthy growth for a wide variety of plants, including houseplants, aroids, orchids, and cuttings. For propagation, simply place 1–2 cups of LECA in a shallow container, add a small amount of water, and insert your cuttings until roots develop. It can also be added as a base drainage layer in planters—especially those without drainage holes—to reduce waterlogging and improve root oxygenation. For semi-hydroponic setups, grow plants directly in LECA using nutrient-rich water for a clean, low-maintenance approach.

Available in 3-liter and 8.5-liter sizes, LECA is a reusable, eco-friendly alternative to traditional soil, offering a sustainable way to grow healthy, vibrant plants. Always rinse thoroughly before use to remove dust and store in a cool, dry place between uses. With LECA, you’ll enjoy cleaner, easier plant care and stronger, healthier root systems—naturally.
