    Introducing Crushed LECA - The Ultimate Growing Medium

    Crushed LECA, or Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate, is the perfect choice for gardening enthusiasts, bonsai lovers, and orchid caretakers. This innovative product offers a multitude of benefits that set it apart from traditional growing mediums:

    Key Features:

    • Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from expanded fired clay, Crushed LECA is designed to withstand the test of time. It does not decompose, ensuring longevity in your growing environment.
    • Organic-Free Composition: With no organic substances present, Crushed LECA remains rot-free and parasite-free, providing a safe and healthy medium for your plants.
    • pH and Salinity Neutral: This medium will not alter the salinity or pH levels of your soil, allowing for a stable growing environment for all your plants.
    • Enhanced Drainage and Aeration: When combined with Peat Moss, Crushed LECA dramatically improves drainage and increases porosity, ensuring roots receive the vital oxygen they need for optimal growth.

    Perfect for All Planting Needs:

    Whether you're rooting collected wild trees or nurturing delicate orchids, Crushed LECA is your go-to solution. Its versatility makes it ideal for:

    • Yamadori Trees: Use pure LECA with frequent watering for robust root development in collected species like Wild Olives.
    • Bonsai Cultivation: For most trees, combine Crushed LECA with Peat Moss in a 70/30 ratio. Adjust the ratio to increase moisture retention in more mature trees.

    Complement Your Growth:

    Take your plant care to the next level by pairing Crushed LECA with BonsaiBoost, a 100% plant organic fertilizer specially formulated for fast-draining mediums. Experience superior growth and vibrant plants with this dynamic duo.

    Choose Crushed LECA for a reliable, effective, and easy-to-use growing medium that supports your gardening ambitions!

    Leca as a substitute for gravel

    As a relatively new bonsai enthusiast(5yrs), i am still learning the trade.A few years back i hurt my back in a boating accident and find it hard to carry the bigger bonsais in their pots .I then decided to replace gravel and stone in my soil mixes with Leca which is much lighter and sofar it works well.

    Thank you Bonsai Tree, I love my new purchase, and so do my bonsai trees.
    Also must say that was surprised about the response from your company. Amazing people to deal with, and I definitely will be using your online store again. Thank you.

    Best LECA, hands-down

    This is consistent in size. If you want to use LECA, this is it. The Spekboom I use can easily get root rot. This drains and breaths well. The trees are healthy. The best LECA for me.

    Best Leca

    This is much easier and better than the large balls for hydroponics. I use this in all my bonsai and seedlings. Mixed with silica sand and peat it is unbeatable as bonsai medium! Great stuff yet again Terry!

    LECA review

    So far I've had a really fabulous experience with the Leca. I used it with acadama and pumice in a 1:1:1 ratio and my trees are thriving in it.

    Akadama

    It is a bit early to tell what the results are using Akadama for my haworthias, but I am excited as I have read a lot of good reviews.
    My shopping experience was great, I picked up my parcel at the warehouse in Somerset West. It was ready for collection and the service was very friendly.

    Leca 2-4mm

    I have used Leca previously and the results that I had were phenomenal. I prefer it to Akedama as it does not break down as quickly. Surprisingly it is more water retentive than it would seem and it is super light weight.
