VitaLink 02-050-105 10L Clay Pebbles Bag
Uniquely irregular shape
The unique irregular shape of VitaLink Clay Pebbles results in a large pebble surface area which holds more nutrient.
Great root aeration
Offers strong structural integrity and good root aeration.
Stable EC and pH
These pebbles have a very stable EC and pH, meaning that they will not significantly affect the pH of your nutrient solution, or leak undesired minerals into it.
Less dusty than the rest
Even though our pebbles have been triple filtered to avoid smaller pebbles and dust, you still need to wash them to get the best possible results.
Perfect for all types of growing methods
VitaLink Clay Pebbles are ideal for flood and drain, multi–pot and drip-ring systems, as well as being used as support media for deep water culture. They can also be used to mix with other substrates to improve structure, or to add a drainage layer in the bottom of pots.

. Don’t forget to rinse off first before use. It’s naturally very dusty with powdery soil.
I use this product, to stop the gnat flies from hatching eggs on top of the soil. So I cover the top soil with this. It works

Good value for cheap leca
The balls are uneven, but I have not noticed any issues with this. Have various plants (peace lily, monstera adansonii, tradescantia zebrina, marantha and some hoyas) happily growing in this substrate without problems. You do need to rinse them, as they are very dusty and dirty. I just chuck them in a plastic tray and leave outside in the rain. It’s easy, rinses all the dust off and the leca balls are pre-hydrated with rain water, win win.
Good for pebble tray’s to help humidity. Mix with compost to aid aeration & drainage. Semi hydro & hydroponics.
Un bon drainage poir mes plantes
Pour un rempotage d automne des plantes sur ma terrasse, ce gros sac est d un prix interessant. Les billes sont grosses, ce qui permet de gros trous au fond des pots et d eviter ainsi l eau stagnante . Je racheterai les memes so besoin.
Good for orchid root aeratio
There’s not a photo in the item description and fool that I am I didn’t check the reviews for photos, but I do find that the size on the pebbles varies A LOT and if you have a small pot, you’ll need to cherry pick the pebbles you want. Thankfully I didn’t want them for semi-hydro or anything— so far they’re mixed in (10%) with bark for my orchids and they seem to be doing fine. I think we’re at week three right now, but I’ll update if I run into any problems.
Happy :)
Package speaks for it self. Please mind it’s not standard round, light brown pebbles, these ones are much darker shade and nothing close to round ones. Usage don’t change
AN EXCELLENT BULKING & DRAINAGE MEDIUM.
Just the job for bulking up the bottom spaces of very large planters (with a couple of lidded 2 litre empty plastic milk cartons thrown in), which reduce the need for massive amounts of compost and as an aid to aeration and drainage. Could not be better, even without using the pebbles for decorative purposes atop the planters.
I’m more than happy with the 45L bag of chunky clay pebbles I received from VitaLink. I initially ordered these for use as a drainage layer within some large, ‘closed plant’ terrariums I’m making up. However, the practical size of these means they’ll also come in very useful for placing in the bottom of my indoor/outdoor plant pots – so no more hunting around in the garden/shed for shards of pottery, or large pieces of gravel!
If you’re a keen potted plant lover, or you’re into making closed plant terrariums (like me), then it’s a no-brainier really when deciding whether to purchase the 10L or the 45L bag, let me tell you that the 45L bag works out far more economical. I’ve taken a photo of my bag, and placed a 5 litre container nearby to give you an idea of the bag size (I’m nice like that ). When dry, these pebbles are a greyish-brown colour, which turns to a dark brown/black colour when wet. I much prefer the colour of these to the orange ones out there, which look unnatural to me – but each to his/her own I guess. As the guys and gals at VitaLink suggest, it’s best to wash these pebbles before use, because by their very nature they will create a small degree of dust after rattling around in their bag. It’s worth mentioning that one of the big advantages of these pebbles is that they are very light – most important in terrarium builds, where you’ll obviously want to keep the weight within your glass containers to a minimum. I do like that these are slightly irregularly shaped, and that they have a stable EC and pH, meaning that they will not significantly affect the pH of your nutrient solution, or leak undesired minerals. If you are searching for good quality clay pebbles, then look no further – get yourself a bag of these, and I’m sure you’ll be as satisfied as me. Highly recommended.
Good produc
Good product but it is incredibly dirty and takes one hell of a lot of cleaning so if you’re not prepared to do this. I probably wouldn’t bother buying i

Good sized bag for houseplants
Ideal as a potting mix/mulch for houseplants, and a decent sized bag. Definitely lightweight compared to other products occupying the same volume. Worth rinsing before use if applying as a top dressing as it will be quite dusty

Excellent for gardening
They are really nice. I’ve used them in my gardening snd they look just grea
Fait le job
Fait le job. Outil a ne pas oublier lors de mise en pot de plantes
Brilliant stuff!
After searching for some small pebbles to place onto my plant pot soil, this product was the more cost effective. The bag is a good size & will cover the tops of the soil in alot of pots. I would advise pouring out the gravel into a bucket outside as quite a bit of dust comes out from the bag. I also washed them in water before placing into the pots. Overall I am very happy with this product.
Very good Clay pebbles
These pebbles look very good in the pot, they retain moisture there is 10 kg in the bag more than enough for several pots an excellent product with an excellent price.

Perfect for pot topping and filling voids in pots
Just perfect for bottom of pots to fill voids, and tops off nicely to give a nice finish, very pleased, second purchase.
Nice decorative stones
Currently using these stones as decorative pieces in the garden and they do what they say on the bag.
The pictures of the product are pretty accurate too, but the bag I bought was bigger than I was expecting.
Maybe check the weight and how many stones you need before committing to the larger sizes.
