Hydroton is a unique lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) made in Germany. It is ecologically sustainable as it is derived from a plentiful source, clay. Size ranges from 8mm - 16mm (about 5/16" - 5/8"). The clay is formed into pellets and fired in 1200 degree rotary kilns which causes the clay to expand inside like popcorn which makes it very porous. Orchids love that porosity to wrap roots around. Advantages of Hydroton include free draining qualities, PH Neutrality, and they can be reused. Hydroton is dust free and inert while promoting good oxygen levels at the root zone. The Hydroton pellets carried by rePotme are quality tested every two months at the University of Hohenheim in Germany. Hydro LECA, which has a uneven surface roots love to grab is also available.
Medium Hydroton is one of the many quality substrates offered by rePotme for orchids, bonsai and all fine plants. We offer it as an individual potting medium, and also in our custom "make your own" Select-A-Blend mix section.
