Hi.

I live in Puerto Rico. Does anybody knows where I can buy those hydroton "leca" clay balls?

Spanish: Yo vivo en Puerto Rico. Alguien sabe dónde puedo comprar esas pelotitas de barro llamadas "leca" o "hydroton"?

Thanks.

Have you tried e-bay? it can come under the name of 'hydroleca' or 'horticultural clay balls'.

Ray,

You have a link to buy the product?

If you can find a hydroponics store they probably have some sort of clay balls that you can use. Try garden supply stores as well.

I do not sell Aliflor!!!

Most brands of LECA (Aliflor, Hydroton, Hydrokorrels, etc.) are manufactured for use in concrete, and remarketed to the horticulture industry, so while they may work, they are not optimized for it.

I import and sell a product that is engineered and manufactured specifically for hydroculture, and it is called PrimeAgra.
