Hydro pellets are suitable for hydroponics and as a drainage layer at the bottom of flower pots and planters. Hydro pellets ensure your plants grow well and give the roots a foothold. Therefore, when filling a pot, always apply a layer of Hydro pellets at the bottom of the pot first.
Depending on the size of the pot, a 3-6 cm layer can be used at the bottom. Such a layer ensures better water management in the pot. And as a result, the plant can grow better. For outdoor pots, it is important that there is a hole at the bottom of the pot, so that excess water can drain out of the pot.
For both indoor and outdoor pots, you can choose to sprinkle a layer of Hydro pellets on top of the potting soil. This has a decorative effect and also ensures that the top layer of the potting soil dries out less quickly.
