What exactly is LECA and how does it help my plants?

LECA is lightweight expanded clay pebbles. They create air pockets for roots, absorb moisture without waterlogging, and prevent root rot by improving drainage and oxygen flow.

Can I use these for semi-hydroponic orchids?

Yes. The 4-16 mm mixed sizes cradle delicate orchid roots perfectly, providing stability and the moist yet airy environment semi-hydroponic plants need.

How else can I use these besides hydroponics?

Mix into soil for drainage, layer at pot base as a reservoir, or use as top dressing to slow evaporation and deter fungus gnats. Also works for aquariums.

Is one 10-lb bag enough? And what situations are different package sizes suitable for?

Yes. It covers several medium pots in semi-hydro or adds a drainage layer to many containers. A generous starter quantity for most indoor gardeners. 2LB: Small Bags, great for Starters; 4-10LB: Mid-Size Bags; 12-18LB: Bulk Bags – For Larger Projects

Do these help prevent root rot?

Yes. LECA creates air gaps around roots while holding only needed moisture. This keeps roots oxygenated and prevents the soggy conditions that cause rot.
