HydraGarden LECA Expanded Clay Pebbles seem more like charcoal than clay with a bit of styrofoam consistency. They stay hard even when soaked and it takes a hammer to break them. They are great for the bottom of pots to prevent root rot. I like working with it better than perlite but I still can't tell if it has the same water retention since it actually floats in water. Still great to have at the bottom of large pots though.
I am still a little undecided due to an odd consistency; good at bottom of pots to prevent root rot
