    • Easy to use and increase humidity
Color: 4LB
Still trying to figure everything out. I got this along with some moss to make a different substrate for my bearded dragon. You start by soaking them in dechlorinated water, then add them to the tank. I think just walking on them alone would be a bit tricky, since it would be a very bumpy substrate -- that is why I put the moss on top. For the most part, my beardie tries to avoid pooping in his tank, but he did so a few days ago. Not sure the best way to clean stuff up with this substrate, honestly -- although it seems some of the poop was more or less absorbed. I ended up throwing out some of the pellets -- now I think I should have just washed them. Certainly this makes it trickier to clean up than when everything is just flat, but this is a far more interesting substrate. The tank looks much better, more natural. I have also been just pouring water into the bottom of the tank, but not enough to cover the pellets. That way there is humidity without swampiness. My beardie can still move around without getting wet. That said, he pretty much always sits in his hammock, but I still like that I can increase the humidity. Even though I haven't figured out all the tricks, I still recommend this. ... show more

    • Easy to work with, quality clay balls
Color: 4LB
These clay balls come in different sizes and are easy to work with. I usually dump the whole bag into containers and I didn't notice too much dust in the bin or the bag, so that was a good sign. I've already soaked and used these clay balls for my a few of my plants. The different sizes filled the gaps and spaces quite well. They are much easier and less messy to work with than soil. My planter also don't weigh as much either. I've used these with several glass vases and I was confident seeing that the soaking and rinsing didn't leave much debris in the vases, aside from the fertilizer i added that may have clouded the wayer a bit. I am also excited that these clay balls and glass vase allowed me to see the roots for their development (or potential root rot). These clay balls may actually become my permanent solution beside using them for propagation. I'm so glad i may not have to get bags of soil, compost, barks, perlite, etc. To make my own mix. I think I'm getting a hang of the semi hydroponic system and not have to clean up the mess! I may consider purchasing the 10 lb bag when I'm out to get the best value. ... show more

    • Great
Color: 4LB
I use these for a mixed substrate for my smaller plants when propagating and rooting to allow more airflow thru the soil and prevent over watering/rot. They’re a nice quality and decent sized pack. I’m not one to use entirely LECA for potting plants, but if I did these would be good for it. These are also nice to put in the bottom of DIY moss poles to not have the moss going all the way to the bottom, which can create rot, but having the clay beads at the bottom provides needed weight and stability at the bottoms of the poles that’s necessary to not end up with a moss pole toppling over. Overall these are great multi use clay beads for many projects ... show more

    • Great for Plants or Terrariums
Color: 4LB
These are simple to use - just rinse them off before using for plants or as a drainage layer for amphibians/reptiles. I use these for all of my bioactive set-ups and will certainly purchase again.

    • Quite useful

These clay balls are great for my houseplant pots. They are very useful for different reasons firstly they look aesthetic rather than just potting soil. They are also great in absorbing moisture and nutrients for the plant. It also effectively stops flies in wandering close to plant soil which like to sit on the watered soil. Overall a must have for indoor plants! ... show more

    • Uniform sizes
Color: 4LB
This large bag contains a great amount of uniformly sized clay balls. They’re very lightweight and work great in my planters! I also have used some as a medium for propagating cuttings, which gives the roots a medium to grow around in water but also makes it easy to transplant later.

    • Fantastic as a drainage layer in terrariums!
Color: 4LB
This as a drainage layer is honestly perfect. The expanded clay is incredibly light, so your terrariums won't weigh a ton, and they are great at keeping excess moisture in check. Can also use them as a substrate for epiphytes, and they love it.

    • Great for my terrariums
Color: 4LB
These Riare clay balls are the perfect base 'substrate' for anyone trying to do a terrarium with live plants. They do exactly what they are supposed to do and help with water drainage. The 4lb bag is a good size and can do a couple smaller terrariums. Just what I needed. Good buy!
