WHAT IS
SEMI-HYDROPONICS?




Semi semi-hydroponics, ‘semi-hydro’ or hydroculture, is a method for
growing plants using an inorganic medium instead of bark, peat moss,
or soil. Instead, the medium, usually LECA or clay aggregate, is
strong, light, very absorbent, and porous.

The difference between hydroponics and semi-hydroponics is that semi-hydro
uses capillary or wicking action to uptake nutrients and water held in a
reservoir.



Semi-Hydroponics Information

LECA stands for Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate and is also referred to
as clay pebbles or expanded clay. It is formed by heating clay to extremely
high temperatures. As the clay heats, it forms thousands of air pockets,
resulting in a material that is lightweight, porous, and highly absorbent.
So absorbent that plants often do not need additional water for two to
three weeks.

EXPANDED
CLAY
AGGREGATE




Lightweight expanded clay aggregate (LECA) or expanded clay (exclay)
is a lightweight aggregate made by heating clay in a rotary kiln.

The yielding gases expand the clay by thousands of small bubbles forming
during heating producing a honeycomb structure. LECA has an approximately
round or potato shape due to circular movement in the kiln and is available
in different sizes and densities. LECA is used to make lightweight concrete
products and other uses.
