More information about growing in LECA and why I love it!

1. **Great for Plant Drainage**: LECA improves water drainage and prevents root rot.

2. **Reusable**: You can clean and reuse LECA multiple times for different plants.

3. **Low Maintenance**: LECA retains moisture while allowing air to circulate, reducing the need for frequent watering.

4. **Pest Resistant**: Since it’s not organic, LECA doesn't attract pests like soil might.

5. **pH Neutral**: LECA has a neutral pH, making it safe for most plants.

6. **Hydroponics Friendly**: It's a popular growing medium in hydroponic systems.

7. **Promotes Stronger Roots**: The porous structure of LECA allows plant roots to grow stronger by encouraging more air and water circulation.

8. **Reduces Overwatering**: LECA absorbs and holds water, slowly releasing it to plants, helping prevent overwatering—perfect for those prone to overwatering their plants!

9. **Great for Propagation**: LECA is ideal for plant propagation, as it provides consistent moisture without drowning fragile roots.

10. **Cleaner than Soil**: It’s a mess-free alternative to traditional soil, reducing dirt in your living space.

11. **Customizable Growth Medium**: LECA can be mixed with other substrates like perlite or pumice for a more customized growing medium depending on plant needs.

12. **No Nutrients in LECA**: LECA itself doesn't provide nutrients, so you’ll need to use liquid fertilizers or plant food for growth.
