Arlita: Drainage of excess irrigation water

2,90  VAT included

The arlita (cooked expanded clay) mixed with substrate helps us prevent soils flooded by excess irrigation or very compact structure.

Due to its high porosity, it generates multiple spaces that facilitate gas exchange and water drainage, obtaining better root development.

A large amount of the oxygen that plants require for their development is taken through the roots, requiring good aeration in the substrate in which we work.

If you put 4 cm. of clay at the bottom of the pots, before putting the soil, you will achieve optimal drainage and thus the roots will not rot due to excess water.

3 liter container.

Clay helps us to obtain better aeration and avoid caking of the substrate in low areas.

 

Characteristics of the clay:

  • It has high porosity and aeration, prevents substrate compaction and possible root suffocation.
  • Thanks to its great porosity it allows the retention of liquids.
  • Does not alter the pH of the resulting substrate.
  • As it does not contain organic substances, it does not decompose, it is free of pests and diseases.

 

Growlet tip:

Add a little perlite and vermiculite to your soil to make it more spongy and retain water better.
