Derived from a renewable and plentiful source, common clay, fired clay pebbles are considered an ecologically sustainable medium. The clay is formed into pellets and fired in rotary kilns at 1200°C. This causes the clay to expand, like popcorn, become porous, and completely sterile. Also known as grow rocks and expanded clay, fired clay pebbles are light in weight, do not compact, and are completely reusable. They also possess the qualities of being completely inert, pH neutral, and do not contain any nutrients for precise nutrient control in soil-free applications. The pebbles drain freely and do not hold any excessive water, which is why they provide good oxygen levels around the roots and why they are particularly suited for flood and drain soil-free plant growing systems. They are used extensively for greenhouse rose cultivation and embraced by orchid growers. In drip irrigation systems the pellets can be mixed with a medium with better capillary action, such as coco peat above, so that the nutrients are more evenly dissipated. Fired clay pebbles are a substitute for normal plant-soil and is mainly used in hydroculture / hydroponic systems as well as for decoration. As with most soil-free growing media, a complete and balanced plant food is recommended for optimum results.
