You always manage to post exactly what I need to know! Hoping to pot up my black velvet and silver dragon in leca soon! The nutrient solution you use has really worked wonders on all my plants, so you're really making so many lives more beautiful and peaceful with plants! Thank you so much always, hope you keep finding joy and success in sharing these videos with us!
I love your videos and I really appreciate you putting where I can find what you used or an equivalent in the description box. Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for all your instruction and advice, Nora! Most of my plants are undergoing the transition using the long method and I'm happy to repprr that they are all doing fantastic! Well, except for the little Spider Plant which the kitten got a hold of. 😏 And the plants I put directly into LECA are also doing fine so far, thanks to you!
My water propogation is growing algae! I didn't realize it would do that under artificial light! I don't know why it never crossed my mind ask used to keep fish and they got algae 🤦🏼♀️ Do you think propogation in a dark pot would prevent this and still root? If I every go to Australia I'm going to be put your plants on my places to visit 🤣 I just want to be blown away in awe in real life! Thanks for sharing Nora! 👑
Well, Marisa, my question to you is, are you regularly changing your propagation solution and washing out the bottle? If not I suggest you do, that might help a lot.
Hey Nora, absolutely loved watching you clean that soil off your plants and cleaning the roots....total ASMR for me HAHAHA. Thank for sharing all your knowledge and bringing so much joy to the lives of so many! Quick question: before having a heat mat, how did you keep your long method transitioning jars warm? I'm putting them on my bedroom desk next to a north facing window (not in direct sunlight). Any other suggestions until I get my heat mat?
love the video, couple questions: when u put the nutrient solution and it doesnt reach the air holes, how will the roots get access to it? and do you always soak the leca balls in some sort of solution?
Hi! Just wanted to thank you for your incredibly detailed & helpful videos. ❤ I'm considering switching to leca for all my anthuriums. Makes sense to me since most of them are epiphytes & don't need soil, anyway, so why the heck not, right? Is it necessary to have the pot (with the plant) inside another/reservoir? I want to place them in my greenhouse cabinet & wanted to save space.
So since the reservoir/catch pot isn't meant to be transparent, how do you gauge the water level accuracy? And if you got that wrong and the roots were sitting in the nutrient solution, would this lead to root rot? And if so, can that happen quite quickly? From a plant lover considering the leca life. Even though I haven't made the transition yet, I'm still subscribed 😋 I love your videos ❤️ thank you for sharing @TheLecaQueen 🙏🏾
I just starting my journey on leca, i just want to know if rubber trees can thrive leca? I browse ur channel but i cant find anything about rubber trees... hope u can help me if u try it already... 🙏🙏🙏 Thank u, loving ur channel i have so many things to learn from u... 💕😍
Hi Ms. Nora, thank you for this enlightening video. I'm so excited to begin my Leca journey because of you. I can follow you and hopefully be successful. Question: Do you start a plant on the long method as soon as you get one over do you wait a week or two for the plant to acclimate to your home and then start the long method? I usually get a new plant and keep it separate from the others for two weeks and then start it on the long method. I'm curious to know if you find it necessary to wait or do you jump right in? Thanks again
I’ve just stumbled on your channel and am loving it! I have a question regarding the filling of the reservoir with solution…what should you do if the roots are growing from the bottom of the pot and not around as yours are????
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! I am not sure I have understood your question. See this video, it might help ruclips.net/user/shortsBvzg_h4NUrY?feature=share
@@TheLecaQueen Thank you Nora..that’s exactly what I was wondering about..sorry I didn’t explain it very well. You are doing such a great job for the plant community!
Hello Nora. I have a Anthurium Waroqueanum Baby. Sitting on perlite in a Plasticbottle without air. They have only fluffy air roots. Because is a stem cutting of my adult plant. Now i want to move to leca. What can i do? My idea is, i change only perlite with leca and put the air roots in leca. Should i use water with fertilize? Because the root don't touch the perlite. I put the plastik wrap on the bottle off, every couple days, for air. Should i take it away, if i start with leca? What do you think? Any tips?
Quick question Most of my leca transplants are on my glassed in porch. The doors are open to the outside a lot, it’s so darn hot here in Texas, over 100’ every single day. I seem to be breeding mosquitos in my leca pots. I started adding mosquito bits to the cash pot, 2-3 bits in every pot. Hopefully it’s not going to hurt my plants. I get eaten up every time I go onto my porch. Need to get it under control. Wonder if anyone else had had that problem or if the mosquito bits will help.
Thanks for the question Kathy. Mozzies are the worst! I am not sure about putting bits in the nutrient solution. I think it may possibly affect the pH and affect how the nutrient is absorbed. Without any concrete evidence I would err on the side of caution and not put bits in the nutrient.
hello pretty lady...i hope you are well.....question: i took some cuttings from my large ZZ plant, growing in Leca...hoping to get more plants. after 4 weeks, i see no signs of any type of fibers or roots coming out...any suggestions?
Hello Dolly. I am good. Hope you are too. All I can say is ZZs take forever to root. Months. Just forget about roots for a while. They will come but it will take long.
What could be causing my Anthurium crystallinum to randomly get yellow leafs? And all new growth dying ... Its been fine for years now this! .I dont overwater and could this be a humidity issue? And would it benefit to put it in leca? Or does this sound like a pest issue?
When a plant is living in leca, it gets 'water and vitamins' and all the other nutrients it needs from the nutrient solution provided in the hydroponic solution. Lots of plants are grown successfully without soil, Anthuriums included. I would love to continue this discussion. Why do you believe soil is necessary? Thanks
LOL that person must have forgotten thst Anthuriums are ephiphites and 1000% do NOT need soil to survive! They're just a hater! Do ur thing Leca Queen lol

excellent presentation...how can you determine up front what plants will need the "long method?"
Thank you. I generally do it for plants I absolutely do not want to fail.
Hello what is root zone and what brand do you use?
Love your videos! But what is the amount you use for the special sauce?
Thank you. I just use them as directed. 5mls per litre for the Clonex Clone Solution and 1ml per litre for the root zone.
How often do I need to add nutrients for leca, is it with every watering? And what nutrients do you recommend
Have you ever used very small Leca balls? If so how do you use those?. I noticed my plant got root rot with the small leca.
Cannot find any info on the root zone in the USA. Anybody know an equivalent?
I have been able to get Clonex clone solution from Amazon in the USA but cannot find anything root zone from growth technology.
Very good video 🤣 I love Antúrios but it’s hard to find 😳
Thank you 😊. Much appreciated.

How about anthurium waroq?
What temp do you set heat mat at?
Mine does not have settings, it is on or off

Hello. I would keep the humidity dome plastic and move it to small balls of leca
Use nutrient solution not plain water.
Quick question
Most of my leca transplants are on my glassed in porch. The doors are open to the outside a lot, it’s so darn hot here in Texas, over 100’ every single day. I seem to be breeding mosquitos in my leca pots. I started adding mosquito bits to the cash pot, 2-3 bits in every pot. Hopefully it’s not going to hurt my plants.

Thanks for the question Kathy. Mozzies are the worst! I am not sure about putting bits in the nutrient solution. I think it may possibly affect the pH and affect how the nutrient is absorbed. Without any concrete evidence I would err on the side of caution and not put bits in the nutrient.

@@TheLecaQueen ok...i will watch them and put on my hat of patience....just wanted to make sure i was not doing anything wrong...blessings

That is sounding like a pest issue. Grab a magnifying 🔎 glass and go hunting.
❤❤❤
Hello what is the special sauce please i been putting all my anthurium from soil te leca
Hello it is clonex Clone Solution and root zone
Why don't you want the solution to touch the roots?
ARE THOSE CALADIUM EARRINGS
Yes they are.
i thinks it's forgetii (forgeti-i)
indeed! 😊
It doesn’t matter what, anthurium need soil to survive, its like you, you can’t live with “water and vitamins” only….you need to eat food to survive
