The Product
The benefits of LP LITE A:
- Lightweight aggregates obtained by expanding natural clay
- Imprescible, frost-resistant, non-flammable, insulating and long-lasting
- Very high drainage capacity , rapid evacuation of water, while retaining its retention capacity (in addition to that of the substrate).
- Optimization of the layer explored by the roots.
- Promotes rooting and water resistance of the canopy
- Reduces substrate thickness by 1 to 2cm compared with synthetic drainage, depending on the plant layer (LP FRAGMENT, LP MOTTE, LP MAT).
LP LITE A is available in two forms:
Classic (LP LITE A RONDE)
Crushed (LP LITE A CONCASSÉE), for additional water retention
