Usage

What is hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral solution only, or in an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. The nutrients in hydroponics can be from fish waste, normal nutrients, or duck manure.

How to use Expanded Clay Pebble into Horticulture Industry?

Expanded Clay Pebbles are made from 100% natural clay. They are clean, pH stable and offer great aeration and drainage in hydroponics, especially in flood and drain, deep water culture and drip feed systems. Due to their unique structure and ability to cover a large surface area, they offer the ideal environment to foster beneficial bacterial growth around the root zone, leading to naturally healthier plants. Expanded clay can be directly used as horticulture growing media after washing clear.
