鶹 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I got this for my houseplants since my previously very small clay balls weren't doing enough to help with the aeration and drainage and I love it!
Firstly, these are very natural pebbles and have the appearance of such as well. I had those orange perfectly circular clay balls before and those blended horribly and were impossible to reuse properly due to their size. These pebbles are very large. The dimensions given are 4mm to 15mm but my bag had around 80% of the pebbles being closer to the 15mm. I'm not sure if it's just my bag that is like this, or if most of the pebbles are like this. However, the balls can be snapped in half or cracked to make smaller so this isn't an issue for me. They're not very dirty so unlike other clay pebbles / balls, they don't really need to be fully washed, but they could go for a rinse at most.
Due to their size, they would be very easy to remove and reuse, so their claims on that seem very legit. I really like that this is LECA clay, and love how they work. They should never decompose and it shouldn't damage your plants roots. It's also next to impossible to overwater your plants with this, as long as you have a drainage hole at the bottom. These are pretty good and are actually very reasonably priced, considering how large the bag is. While the bag is only 4.5lbs, it's honestly pretty huge. I have around 10 plants in pots around 5-10" wide, and I only went through 1/3 of the bag (lined the bottom and some mixed into the dirt). Since it's reusable as well, this is a great deal.
My only real complaint about the product is the bag. I would love to see some sort of resealable aspect added to the bag. Currently, if you cut into it, you just have an open bag and will either need to find another container or hope you don't spill. I like to keep my products in the same bag if possible, so the bag having the ability to close again would be great! Honestly, these are pretty great and I'd recommend them for anyone suffering from drainage problems. Even if your plants aren't the ones suggested, you can put these at the bottom of your pots to help prevent root rot. Plus, supporting a small business is always better!
