Uniform, pH-neutral pebbles for semi-hydroponics and hydro systems. Pre-screened at the factory, so you skip the famous 'rinse it ten times' routine and go straight from bag to pot. Uniform 8–16 mm grading means consistent wicking and no chunky surprises.

Common questions

Do I need to wash the pebbles before use?+

No. We pre-screen every batch at the factory to remove dust and fine particles, so you can pour them straight from the bag. A quick rinse never hurts if you want to be thorough.

Can I reuse them?+

Yes. Clay pebbles are inert and kiln-fired, so they don't break down or rot. Rinse them between uses and they'll last for years.

Are they safe for plants and pets?+

Yes. The pebbles are 100% expanded clay with no additives, coatings, or organic matter. They release nothing into soil or water.

Do I need to soak the pebbles first?+

A short soak (15–30 min) helps saturate them before transplanting, especially for brand-new pebbles. Because ours are pre-screened, you're soaking for water absorption — not to clean them.

Do they float?+

New pebbles can float for a while until they absorb water. Soak them before use and they'll settle quickly. In flood-and-drain systems, a full soak cycle usually does the trick.

Will these clog my pump?+

No. Factory pre-screening removes the dust and fine sediment that typically clog pumps and cloud reservoirs — that's the main reason we do it.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?+

Yes — for pallet and container quantities, message us on WhatsApp or email and we'll quote factory-direct rates.
