What people don't realise is that leca is not an exact science and is a lot of trial and error. I keep get questions if this plant or the other is doing well in leca, but the answer has so many variables....anyway, lovely video like always sweetie😘💕
Hi again Rachel I have a few questions again🙈 It’s regarding my Monstera Albo, Birkin and Pink Princess. I put them in Leca for about 1 week ago and because I am living in Denmark and we have winter time here. I have my plants under growlight. Is this okay or not? Also you say splash them with water, but what if I gave them a little too much water by accident? When will you take the plant out for the first time to check the roots? Thanks again for educating me in this Leca thing💚
@@prettyinplants9580 omg I just noticed my Monstera Albo has gotten a severe case of root rot in Leca. I overwatered and took her out today cause I could see something was wrong and almost all the roots were gone. There are 4 big long nodes left. What would you suggest? Leave her in dry Leca and Pumice or Spaghnum moss or even water? Am so scared to loose her😭😭
@@ceoofmyhome Well I actually put her back into Leca but this time with alot of Lezhuza Pon. Have absolutely no idea if she can grow roots this way? And this time I made sure the Leca was only damp so she wont rot further. Have you any experience with growing roots in this set up?
Hi Rachel I am completely new to this whole Leca thing but today I repotted 3 plants to Leca and seeing this video got me so confused. I transplanted my Philo Birkin, my Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma and my Philo Silver Sword. I gave them all a reservoir with Superthrive drops in but now you say I shouldn’t water them right away? For how long and how much should I pour onto them when seeing signs of thirst? Lastly how important is it to soak Leca for /4 hours before use? Thanks so much in advance. Kind regards from Stinne, Denmark
Hi Rachel, I put my calathea roseopicta in Leca, and the new growth is sprouting shriveled up. The other leaves are doing fine. I'm not sure what to do now. Its been in Leca for 3 weeks now. I can send photos of Lil if that helps. Any advice will be great.
Was it not due to go yellow and brown because there was no roots left? And it was just timing so when you put it in water you assumed it was the water that did it?
Yes I’m just basing this on other plants that I have put into LECA that had no outward change for up to six months and then suddenly the new growth exploded...so the yellowing leaf just tells me when I made that change it it made it not quite as happy

I really like net pots over anything else. I felt like it breathes better and can still see the roots if long enough.
Love those❤️

Thank you❤️I know...and also, size of plant, location, pot size...it’s a LOT of idiosyncrasies
Thanks for the video, I feel like you made it just for me! I’m starting LECA today with my dracaena that I don’t love haha
LOL-the dracaena likes to be pretty dry at first...
Pretty In Plants thanks so much for the tip!
Hi again Rachel

Thanks again for educating me in this Leca thing💚
Yes! Love grow lights and use them like crazy-even in texas-too much water-just wait a long time to let it dry out or put out any excess
@@prettyinplants9580 omg I just noticed my Monstera Albo has gotten a severe case of root rot in Leca. I overwatered and took her out today cause I could see something was wrong and almost all the roots were gone.
There are 4 big long nodes left.
What would you suggest?
Leave her in dry Leca and Pumice or Spaghnum moss or even water?
Am so scared to loose her😭😭
Ok-don’t panic-you can put her in just a water vase for a few weeks to get some new roots going
@@ceoofmyhome Well I actually put her back into Leca but this time with alot of Lezhuza Pon.
Have absolutely no idea if she can grow roots this way? And this time I made sure the Leca was only damp so she wont rot further.

LOVE lechuza pon! She should do great
Tips on transferring a Ficus Audrey water cutting to LECA? The roots have been growing in water for over a month now.
Just plant it quite low-1” if LECA and then roots-small pot

No reservoir! Those three plants LOVE LECA...but just top water no motor ya the first few weeks
Also, I just rinse LECA prior to use
@@prettyinplants9580 Thank you so much!

Yes-are you on my insta
Also, many plants are VERY quiet the first month, if unsure, pull out and check roots and then put back into dry leca
@@prettyinplants9580 Yes, let me send you a pic there. TY TY
Where do you get your larger size grow pots? 10” or more? Do the lechuza self watering pots come with the grow pot?
Up to 10” and then I have been testing fabric grow bags with a saucer underneath
i have a snake plant that’s grown roots in LECA for a month ... should i add the reservoir now? i’m nervous cause it gets root rot so easily.
So it has only been in LECA 30 days?
Pretty In Plants yes!
