- Westland Hydroleca Clay Granules 10L Lightweight Water Management Substrate

B&Q

Westland Hydroleca comprises specially formed ceramic clay pebbles engineered to deliver a highly efficient, three-in-one water management system.Each lightweight pebble features a smooth, dense outer shell with a porous, honeycomb interior designed to buffer moisture dynamically. The granules capture surplus water during heavy watering cycles and slowly release it back as the surrounding soil dries, keeping plants perfectly hydrated without saturation.Supplied in a generous 10-litre bag, this versatile aggregate is excellent for crocking, raising ambient humidity in centrally heated rooms, or topping structural displays. The inert clay structure does not degrade, providing permanent drainage utility across all indoor and outdoor plant varieties.How to Use1. Setup: Put on protective gardening gloves, open the bag in a well-ventilated space, and ensure your target pots or trays are clean.2. Apply / Adjust: Layer 2-3cm of pebbles at the base of containers for drainage, or spread evenly across the top soil layer as a decorative cover.3. Clean / Safety: Wipe away any stray clay dust from the pot rims, settle the stones with a light mist of water, and wash hands thoroughly.4. Schedule / Safety: For humidity trays, keep the pebble base consistently moist so water can evaporate naturally into the surrounding air.Tips and AdviceWeather: Utilize Hydroleca indoors year-round to combat dry air from central heating, or apply outdoors during spring potting setup.Rainfall: When used as a base drainage layer in outdoor pots, ensure the container's main drainage holes remain completely clear of obstructions.Restrictions: Avoid breathing in any loose clay dust when pouring from the bag, and do not let indoor plant bases sit completely submerged in deep, stagnant water.
