LAIFLOR GERMAN QUALITY expanded clay is a porous, lightweight, earthy clay aggregate. It’s durable and has exceptional capillary properties. The internal structure absorbs nutrient solution, releasing it to the plant on demand. It holds the plant in place but is light enough to allow air penetration to the roots, which prevents excessive acidity and rotting. Expanded clay is pH neutral. It’s reusable and lasts for years.
We have a large range of growing media in store and online. Our range is premium quality and includes Cultilene and Grodan Rockwool, Liaflor Expanded Clay, Perlite, Vermiculite, Coco Peat, Sphagnum Moss, Capillary Matting and Jiffy Pots and Pellets.
Perlite is a volcanic mineral, small black crystal-like when mined. It is heated to 1100°C, then explodes like popcorn to form white granules similar to rice bubbles in look. Very light, sterile and pH neutral. PUMICE is a flaky material, when heated exfoliates, splitting the layers apart and giving light, spongy, golden granules. It can hold 67% by volume of water. Very light, sterile and pH neutral. Best used as 2 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite to give optimal water/air ratio. Will break down over time. Best for non-recycling systems. CULTILENE Rockwool is internationally used in around 80% of commercial systems. Cultilene rockwool is a fibrous material formed from volcanic rock, limestone and coke melted at 1500°C. The molten substance is spun, pressed and cooled into cubes and slabs. Excellent water/air ratio. It is pH alkaline to begin, soak in nutrient solution for 24-48 hour then run at 5.2-6.2 pH. Best in recycling and non-recycling systems. Coco peat is made from coconut husks. Raw coconuts are washed, heat-treated, screened and graded before being processed into coco peat products of various granularity and denseness. A single kilogram of coco peat will expand to 15 litres of moist coco peat. Hydroponic Xpress recommend RHP branded products for superior refinement and enhancement. Coco-PERLITE MIX coco and perlite as above, mixed together provides an excellent grow medium for plants that don’t like their roots to stay wet. The coco-perlite does not retain water in the same way that straight coco peat does, so excess water drains away.
