Description

Hydroton Expanded Clay Pebbles (LECA) — the premium, reusable growing medium trusted by UAE hydroponic growers for over a decade. Lightweight, pH-neutral, and excellent drainage makes it the ideal substrate for all hydroponic systems in the UAE’s climate.

Why Hydroton Clay Pebbles are Perfect for UAE Hydroponics

  • Excellent Aeration — porous structure allows roots to access oxygen even in high-temperature UAE conditions
  • pH Neutral (6.5–7.0) — won’t affect your nutrient solution pH
  • 100% Reusable — wash, sterilize, and reuse season after season for maximum value
  • Optimal Drainage — prevents root rot in UAE summer heat when overwatering is common
  • Lightweight — ideal for rooftop and balcony gardens across Dubai and Abu Dhabi
  • Inert & Chemical-Free — safe for edible crops, herbs, and vegetables

Compatible Hydroponic Systems

  • Dutch Bucket systems for tomatoes and cucumbers
  • NFT channels for lettuce and leafy greens
  • DWC (Deep Water Culture) net pot filling
  • Flood-and-drain (ebb and flow) systems
  • Aquaponics as biofilter media

How to Prepare Hydroton for Use

Rinse thoroughly with clean water before first use to remove dust. Soak in pH-adjusted water (pH 5.5–6.0) for 24 hours before planting. This stabilises the pebbles and removes any alkaline residue. For reuse, soak in diluted hydrogen peroxide (3%) or bleach solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry before storing.
