The Product
Mini LECA 1–3mm is a small-grade lightweight clay pebble substrate, ideal for plant collectors who want better airflow, drainage and structure in their growing mix.
The smaller size makes it especially useful for baby plants, small root systems, propagation cups and custom substrate blends where standard LECA feels too chunky.

Designed. Printed. Tested here.
Printed in PLA — a plant-based, plant-safe bioplastic made from renewable sources like corn starch. Industrially compostable and non-toxic. Stable at room temperature, but keep out of prolonged direct sun — PLA softens above 60°C.
Every pot is designed from scratch and printed in my own studio. No outsourced molds, no mass production. Each batch is small, and each design gets tested on my own plants before it ever gets listed.
You might find a tiny scuff or a stray layer line here and there. If it's hidden — on the inside of the pot, or the underside where you won't see it — it stays in rotation. Visible defects never get shipped. It's how I keep print waste low without compromising what you actually see.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. No dishwasher, no boiling water, no direct sun for hours on end. Indoor use recommended. Treat it like any fine object and it'll last for years.
- Rare. Small-batch production. Never mass-made.
- Selected. Every design tested on my own plants before it gets listed.
- Limited. Each colorway made in limited quantities. When it's gone, it's gone.
- WYSIWYG. Real photos. What ships is what you see — no stock shots, no bait-and-switch.
Things worth knowing.
Is PLA safe for plants?
Yes. PLA is a plant-based bioplastic made from renewable sources like corn starch — non-toxic and plant-safe. It's widely used in indoor planters and 3D-printed goods. No phthalates, no BPA.
Can I use it outdoors or in direct sun?
Indoor use is recommended. PLA softens above ~60°C, so keep it out of prolonged direct sun or hot south-facing windows. Shaded terrace or balcony in moderate climates is fine — just not baking heat.
Does it have drainage holes?
Each listing states the pot's function — display cover, planter with drainage, or propagation vessel. If drainage matters for your setup, check the product photos and description before ordering.
How do I clean it?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. No dishwasher, no boiling water. If something stuck on, soapy water and a soft cloth does the job. Avoid abrasive sponges — they scratch the finish.
Why is there a tiny scuff on my pot?
Hidden imperfections — on the inside or underside — stay in rotation so I can keep print waste low. Anything visible when the pot is in use never ships. If you spot a visible defect, photo within 24 hours and I'll replace it.
Can I request custom sizes or colors?
Sometimes, yes. Small tweaks to existing designs (a specific color from my current filament stock, a minor size variation) are usually doable. Fully custom designs aren't offered as a service — every listing is a batch I've tested and want to stand behind.
How is it shipped?
Pots ship in cushioned packaging from Sweden with tracking. Free standard shipping kicks in automatically on orders over €150.
Can I combine a pot order with a plant order?
Yes. Pots and plants ship in the same parcel when possible. TC pre-orders are the one exception — sealed bags need their own packaging window and ship separately.

Designed for the plants you care about.
Small-batch, made at home, tested on my own plants. When a colorway closes, it's done.
