Ready to take the plunge into a greener, more dynamic workplace? Explore the world of hydroculture for Sustainable Office Plants, an investment in the well-being of your employees and the environment.

Hydroculture, the method of growing plants in the workplace without soil, isn't just a trend; it's a sustainable practice with numerous benefits. In this innovative approach, plants are nurtured using eco-friendly mediums like fully recyclable Light Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA). These clay pellets offer a more efficient irrigation method, allowing plants to absorb water over longer periods, reducing evaporation.

Benefits of Hydroculture:

• ???? Fewer maintenance visits.
• ???? Lowered maintenance costs.
• ???? Less disturbance within your office space.
• ???? Reduced CO2 emissions - from less traveling.
• ???? Decreased pest problems across the office.

Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregates (LECA) are the heart of hydroculture, consisting of round-shaped hollow clay pellets with a ceramic-resistant exterior skin and a porous, lightweight interior nucleus. This super lightweight aggregate, with a dry bulk density of approximately 350kg/m3, is ideal for creating lightweight soils and subsoils.

In simpler terms, LECA are baked clay balls that absorb water and expand. Unlike soil, LECA lacks nutrients, making liquid fertilizer a helpful addition to maintain plant health.

Why LECA for Hydroculture:

• Makes water care more manageable, reducing the risk of root rot or fungus.
• Supports root structure for easier access to nutrients.
• Environmentally friendly.
• Helps prevent pests and bugs from infesting your plants.

Consistent Water Supply: The hydroponic system in LECA naturally draws water up to the plant, reducing the frequency of watering.

Reusable: Unlike soil, which loses nutrients over time, LECA only needs cleaning between uses. A few drops of liquid fertilizer tailored to your indoor plants go a long way.
