    ✅ About The Leca Queen :
    Nora here! Welcome to The Leca Queen channel.
    I love all things indoor PLANTS. I enjoy growing my plants in SOILESS media; yep, no soil! I primarily use LECA (clay balls) to grow my plants using hydroponics (semi-hydroponics).
    I show you how my beautiful plants grow in LECA and help you achieve the RESULTS that I have. I cover a TON of leca growing tips, a very comprehensive leca 101 where I hold your hand and help you navigate the world of semi-hydroponics.
    I love to experiment and discover different ways of taking care of plants. There is no right or wrong way, just the way that works for you and your plants. Join me on my many plant adventures.

    Wow Nora what a whopper. Can't wait for the "my FLF" has out grown my house video 🤣. This pot certainly won't be taken to the sink for a flush. Two questions. 1/ Currently being winter in Melbounre my plants are not drinking as much. I usually change out the reservoirs every two weeks. Clearly with larger plants I would prefer not to have to lift them. Do you just give it less water in the reservoir or do you just fill it and wait for it to be used up. 2/ Being in such a large pot even with the added wicks do you like to water from the top over the Leca so the plant can draw from the Leca or do you only fill using the water gauge spot.

    I have never been a fiddle leaf fig fan, but I am impressed by the size of yours. So many struggle with this plant. Good luck with the transition into Leca. I have watched one of your videos of past, regarding planting hoyas using aluminum rods covered in jute. Could you please do a video on how to cover with jute.

    I have no words Nora.....You are one gutsy woman!!!
    I was getting so overwhelmed with you needing a hand 😂 but you did it!! Omgoodness!! No leaf loss. If anyone could do it, you could. 😅
    When it started to fall, I was yelling at the TV,
    "QUICK QUICK AHHH."
    Well, now I am totally inspired. Even though I knew what you were going to do before this video came out, I was trying to get the gumption to actually transition my FLF. It's half the size of yrs in a 250 mil pot.
    Do you think it would be ok with a heat mat and growlights for Winter or should I leave it till late Spring? 🤔

    • @TheLecaQueen

    The pot you used is beautiful.
    The fact that your Ficus didn’t skip a beat is awesome.
    So many great tips in this video too (like the fact that not all roots are going to be/stay white and that microfiber is a great wicking material).

    That’s Right. My favorite 3 plants are in Lechuza Pots. I offen talk about my Philodendron El Choco Red on a moss pole with Philodendrons: Micans, Camposportoanums,, Verrucosums and Syngonium Rayii. They cover the moss pole. All in a large Lechuza Pot, the forever home. My Mother’s Day Gift, Yea! 👍🏾Video. Love MoM in the video. Pot on a dolly.

    I love that your fiddle leaf fig is one of your most special plants. I have a collection of rare, beautiful, plants, and I will say that my fiddle leaf fig is one of my absolute most favorite plants that I own. This plant has my heart. When those leaves upsize... such JOY. I actually have mine sitting next to it's new forever home, and I've been putting off repotting it. Thank you so much for the inspiration to tackle this project. Now you've got me debating as to if I should repot to Leca.

    Good job! But one question: what would happen if the light source doesn't come from the top but from the side? I can't own big plants like this or bird of paradise because they don't grow vertically, because the sunlight comes from the side, I have a balcony above mine... :(
