Expanded clay is a special variant of clay that has become an integral part of modern floristry as a basic material, replacing conventional potting soil and granules. Expanded clay can be obtained from conventional clay by this finely ground and granulated and is finally fired to retain its shape at more than 1000 degrees Celsius. In its final form, the expanded clay resembles a very coarse granulate, the individual granules have a high porosity and are thus able to store water and release it again. Blähton has also been used in gardening and landscaping in Germany for about half a century and is used as a basis for planting floors as well as for the aesthetic design of public and private areas. Also in floristry, expanded clay has become a popular alternative to classical potting soil and is particularly suitable as a soil for various plant species. The benefits of expanded clay are the safe storage of water and nutrients that would otherwise escape too quickly from the soil and would no longer be available to the plant. Apart from floristry, expanded clay has also become established in modern construction and is eg mixed with mortar for the construction of the wall or used for water and soil cleaning. High-quality expanded clay for the floristic environment can be discovered and acquired by private customers and professional florists on floristik21.de.
