Arlita VItalink 10 l.

Porous substrate for hydroponic cultivation (suitable for recirculation). It is composed of expanded clay forming balls between 8 and 16 mm. The internal structure is porous, absorbing and releasing water with nutrients according to the plant's needs. It is clean, does not decompose, and is free of diseases and parasites. It has a stabilized pH between 5.5 and 6.5, which makes it an excellent support for hydroponics. It can also be mixed with other substrates. Expanded clay does not absorb water for long periods, which means that in hydroponic cultivation, it does not have a very high safety coefficient in case the timer or irrigation pump fails. Submerge the expanded clay in the nutrient solution 24 hours before transplanting to stabilize the pH. It is also widely used at the bottom of pots to achieve better drainage and prevent waterlogging. The clay balls allow for great aeration and perfect drainage. It contains a highly porous structure derived from expansion at high temperatures. It can retain 15-20% of its weight in water. When mixed with substrates, it increases their porosity and provides aeration. It is also highly valued as a decorative element placed on the surface of pots and planters. It is an unalterable material that is germ-free, naturally suppressing weeds. The clay balls are clean, light, decorative, and easily manageable.
