If the LECA is quite dry, it can literally desiccate a root tip that comes in contact with it.

Ray intrigued me with this comment - i want to know if the RH is above 50% and i soak a pot or a leca pellet in rain water, without heat or sun being applied, will that clay ever truly dry out or will it stop drying once it is as wet as the air?
