Aqua Gardening Suggests These are Best For

Canna Aqua Clay Pebbles are perfect for hydroponic gardeners looking to enhance the growth and flowering of their plants, particularly those growing vegetables, herbs, fruit-bearing and flowering plants in recirculating or run-to-waste systems. They are also great for improving soil drainage in potted plants.

Notes from Aqua Gardening

  • Canna Aqua Clay Pebbles may initially float, but they will sink within a few days. They're the best sinking clay pebbles available for aquaponic systems.
  • Keep the water level around 2.5cm below the top of the clay pebbles in aquaponic systems to prevent algae growth.
  • Wash the clay pebbles before use to remove any dust or debris.
