This is the smallest size of crushed Leca Balls(1-4mm) and this is recommended only for mixing in potting soil of small plants (Like-Cactus, Succulents etc.). For bigger plants, we should use bigger size of crushed Leca (3-7mm) which is available on our website.

Crushed Leca plays crucial role in roots aeration, hence these crushed Leca should be used in potting mix of small plants. These are used as soil conditioner for plants. It helps in better root growth.

This size of crushed Leca is used as best substitute of Perlite. It is very helpful to ensure fastest drainage in soil. Even after mixing in soil, these crushed Leca balls do not get powdered for many years and we can re-use them. However, this is not possible with Perlite. After using Perlite, that disintegrates much earlier and drainage in soil is not continued.

But, if we use crushed Leca, eternal drainage in soil is observed while ensuring proper roots aeration. We recommend to use it instead of Perlite.

 These balls can absorb water upto some extent. These crushed clay balls are light weight and also used to make light weight soil media in horticulture. If we pour them in water, they will float (We have shown image). It ensures overall better health of plants.

Due to availability of clearly visible air cavities in these clay balls, they ensure proper exchange of gases in soil for better growth of plants. Use of Crushed Leca in soil helps plants in protection from weather adversity also (i.e. Winter and Summer). Leca Balls are used for thermal insulation and filling material in construction industry.

If you wish to use pebbles over the surface of potted plants' soil, you must use these Leca balls (Approximately 20%) in potting mix. Because these clay balls can ensure better aeration of rooting system, even after putting heavy load of soil/pebbles over them. However, if you are using only Vermiculite/ rice husk / Cocopeat powder as a component in your potting medium, there are high chances for blockage of root aeration due to heavy load of soil or pebbles over them.

For mulching or decoration of top layer of potted plants, these crushed Leca are not preferred by most of the plant lovers. All other sizes of clay balls are available with us.

Ph value : 7, An ideal growing medium must not be too acidic or basic. pH value of these clay balls is neutral.

Bouncy and firm
Lasted a day so far! I'm hopeful it'll last at least a week. Light enough to bounce compared to her Kong ball.

Thus is Great
They so far are indestructible in the jaws of my two large German Shepards. To be fair, this is NOT a ball to toss because it seems to be more in the cannonball family than in the soft dog toy world. Each of my pups love their Monster K9 balls but when they drop it on our hardwood floors, the whole household knows where they are.

Great toy but never received the replacement they offer.
It’s is a very durable toy. But not indestructible. My dog loves the ball and it did last 4 months which is much longer than any of his other toys. I emailed the company to see if they honored their one time replacement policy for Amazon orders. I was told they do and was told I was shipped a replacement. But we never received it. We’ve ordered plenty from Amazon before and after this so I don’t know where the hold up would of happened but here we are. I did email the company back and told them that I didn’t receive the replacement and asked if they could verify my address….but they haven’t responded. Just sucks. Would of been great if I actually got the replacement!

My HEAVY chewers favorite ball
It's dense and has some weight to it, can definitely get good distance when throwing and it bounces a long way. It's soft enough for my dog to chew on but tough enough that even with her destroying every toy I get her she looses these before ever tearing into them. About softball size.

Safe
I normally don't write reviews but these products deserve the effort! I bought 4 different black toys from this Brand and all are still intact after 6 months heavy usage by 2 aggressive chewers (a Belg Malinois & black Lab), fantastic products and unlike so many other brands promising to be indestructible, these are the first toys that were not eaten within a month. No more visits to Vet to pay for Xrays after digesting plastic or rubber from badly made toys. Highly recommended.
