Put up shelves/pictures aerated concrete
Want to set up shelves and paintings in the apartment, helped a neighbor renovate and demolish a bit and saw that the walls are made of some type of leca and then the lightest concrete available, reminiscent of Chinese "tofu dreg."
Have previously tried with wall plugs but the holes just get bigger or sink down and become an elongated hole in the end.
Have considered trying to drill up and fill with anchor mass and then drill and drive a screw?
Anyone know what to do with these crappy walls?

Did you use plugs specifically for lightweight concrete? See here: https://www.hornbach.se/projekt/valja-plugg/

Yes, I can show some pictures of what happens to the wall over time, the picture is without plugs as they didn't help at all, the same happens with nails and everything that's set up, screws and nails just migrate downwardsBirgitS said:

But yes, I have tried plugs of all sorts, but they absolutely make no difference, they come out because the wall just crumbles over time, no neighbors have found a solution either, everything that is put up just falls over time.

In an apartment I lived in before I had the same problem, I vacuumed the hole and filled it in with some Casco husfix and pressed the plug into it.
When it dried, the plug and screw were solid as a rock.
Edit: The house we lived in was built in 1949

It's probably mortar between the blocks. It's usually inappropriate to try to attach something to the mortar. However, it should be possible to attach something to the leca blocks (if that's what it is).F famrpk said:
