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.

Good quality, works well.
Color: White, Size: Medium
Love it!! It took several hours and a brief air dryer time to get it fully fluffed up. It is perfect for my twin size bed. I found it very comfortable to sleep on although I would prefer it a bit more dense. Side sleeping, it flattens too easily. it comes with a carry bag but I had no use for it. Nice quality and soft cover.

Highly recommend getting this product.
Color: White, Size: Medium
Great pillow that is worth the money. We travel often as a family and got these and it was worth it. The quality is good and it it firm enough to be comfortable. I got good support and also enjoyed the fact that it can be rolled up into the travel pouch and transported.

If you want an afforable, adjustable pillow - give this a try
Color: White, Size: Medium
I live this pillow. I bought two one for travel and one for home. I'm a side sleeper and most pillows are too fat for me, but my old pillow finally got too flat. It is very light and has an interior pillowcasing with a zipper under the main pillow zipper. Open both and access/remove the shredded foam (?) stuffing material. Be sure to save it in case you removed to much, I ended up putting some back in. It is slightly curved on one long end. It find it very comfortable, and there is no smell from the filling. I'm sensitive to stuff like that. I took off one start, as I wish it came with a pillow case just that size. It fits in a regular pillowcase sort of. The long side of this small pillow fits in the short end of a regular pillow case, but then you have all that extra length hanging over it, I asked my mom to cut and sew a few down for me.

It was by far the best of the 3 I ordered
Color: White, Size: Medium, Color: White, Size: Medium
Good shredded memory foam pillow. Great for traveling. Great for side sleeper. I have had neck and shoulder problems and went through a ton of pillows before settling on Luxome Layr adjustable pillow. But way too hefty to travel with. I bought three travel pillows for a trip I am currently on - this one, a sleep number one and Alkamto travel and camp Pillow. The Alkamto was a no-go right away. Too squishy. Little support. Loved the Nappler. My husband liked it too so ordered him one. I will say his came in and was not as full as mine. I had some leftover fill from my Layr pillow so filled it out a bit for him. He doesn’t need one as supportive as mine so it wouldve be fine. It is nice because if it’s too firm you can pull some filler out. Had I gotten the second first it still would’ve been the best but I’m glad mine was fuller. The sleep number came in the next day and way good but not as good. Gave that to my adult daughter. Returned the Alkamto one as useless. The Nappler rolls up pretty easy and compacts down well in its bag so I could fit in my carry on. Was good for the flight - a long flight with lay down seats but crappy pillows. I’ve used it instead of the hotel pillows and also now the cruise ship pillows. 5 days into travel and I’ve very pleased.

Very comfortable/ Good support
Color: White, Size: Medium
I travel often and I’m always frustrated that I have to leave my good pillow at home. I bought this one very quickly and on a whim and boy was I surprised! I slept very well the first night with it! I didn’t have to make any adjustments to it at all! I like that it’s white and can go inside of any pillowcase. When you take it out of the dryer to initially fluff it, it looks very big, but is extremely comfortable and does not strain my neck at all! It provides excellent support.
