Here is how you use hydro clay balls, also known as aqua clay balls, particularly for planting cuttings as described in the provided reference.
Hydro clay balls are often used as a soilless growing medium, providing support, aeration, and moisture retention for plants. The reference specifically details a method for using them when planting cuttings:
- Step 1: Choose the Right Pot: Select a suitable grow pot. This could be one made of glass, a clear pot, or a net pot combined with a sleeve.
- Step 2: Fill Partially: Fill the chosen pot halfway with the aqua clay balls.
- Step 3: Insert the Cutting: Gently place your plant cutting into the center of the pot.
- Step 4: Secure the Cutting: While holding the cutting upright and in place, pour more aqua clay balls around the sides and over the top of the cutting. This fills the pot and anchors the cutting firmly in position.
This method allows the hydro clay balls to hold the cutting securely while providing space for roots to develop and access water and air within the pot.
