I've only done soils and regular hydro with leca before,I still watched this entire video and when I found out about pon and granulets semi-hydro, I had to try it. This is by far the most informative and helpful starter video out there.I wish I could have showed it to myself a few months ago!!
I was quite puzzled whether growing plants in semi hydroponics will help out my plants.. But now I've a clear idea of what semi hydroponics is all about..Will defenitely try this out soon... Thank you soo much, ma'am ..!!
Ann, could you advise on any home made nutrient solution I can use for this? Seaweed extract liquid or others? Could you advise, on how this can be made? I am ready to create this set up and had forgotten about the hydroponic solution you used. Am eager to try it without waiting to obtain the solution. Do let me know if there’s such an option..many thanks!
Co-incidence. I recently started growing my dying monstera deliciosa cutting in Leca. It's doing well and looks beautiful in a glass container. I wasn't aware about the hydroponics nutrition as I didn't do much research. I'll get that soon. I want to explore more options too in hydroponics but unsure if I should do that right now. So I guess I'll keep experimenting with Leca for a few months. Thank you for this informative article Ann, it helps a lot. 💚
I'm always confused and kinda scared to grow plants in hydroponics but after watcing your video im quite clear now maybe i'll start using them since ive no doubts now. Thankyou Ann i would like to know more about hoyas and their tips to grow pls make a video on hoyas :)
@Geeks of Green Hi Ann , That point at 14 minutes 7 seconds! Caught my attention 🙋That's what I was really wanting to hear about... I lost A few cuttings of my wandering jew n money plant... Maybe it was the lack of nutrition or brittle roots , or even over watering 🙆 I used to fill it up to the brim 🤦 Actually tried it out after watching your video with Plantastic Sunny ... I had it all wrong n put my leca off in the corner of my garden thinking it's useless 🤷 Maybe it's time to get my hands back on them 🥳 Going ahead n trying it once again with the tips n tricks I learnt in this video 🤗 Happy Gardening 💐 P.S. Wanted to know if it's really necessary to wash/clean the leca or soak it before using them for the fist time after purchase ... Please do lemme know on this 🙋 Thanks 😊
Very informative Ann..👍 Is it possible to grow all types of plants(with bigger roots)in semi hydro,especially flowerings ones?? Also is zz fine for this method??
U are always my go to for every plant problem. Can we use a plant tray as reservoir for hydroponic plant or what is the level we need to maintain in reservoir
Good. Very informative👌👌. Am a beginner. Bought some leca recently and was searching a video like this. Just planted synchonium and bamboo plant in glass bottle without the nutrients now. Let me know when i shoul add the nutrients.
This video was knowledgeable . I will surely try this method for my plants . Please make a video for nutrient water that is essential for plants and also i want to know what exact nutrient is essential to induce flowering in plants as am searching it but did not find exact essential nutrients that can boost flowering so please share if u hv idea about it . Ur videos are very helpful. Thank you so much for ur efforts it really counts as I also practice sm for my plants . 🥰
This is valuable info. Thank you! Am so glad there is a ready to use alternative to importing Lechuza Pon at crazy prices. I am sure going for it through the link you provided. I tried clicking on your online store link but it shows an error.
Thank you maam for taking time and sharing information. I am from Pune and I have ordered Monstera Deliciosa from Kerala which is coming in jiffy bag. In which medium I should grow it so that my cutting will survive???. Please suggest me 🙏
The only reason why i was hesitant to try semi hydro was coz i didn't like the whole fertilizer process . I like things to be simple as well.and after watching your video I think I'm ready to convert...with confidence.Thanks I love the simplicity of the video...
Your video are so good and I am also a plant lover and had learn and a grow lot by seeing your videos . Thankyou . I would love to get the monthly give way.
When the video started i immediately started thinking of asking if string of hearts will do good in leca because my SOH almost died in soil. So i took it out and have placed them in sphagnum moss inside a closed container. Had ordered plant substrate from nicole and asked if it will do good in it but she said it wouldn’t. Now i guess after this video i m clear that it wouldn’t do good in leca either. So can you suggest if i should repot the strings in soil later or shall i leave it sphagnum because its doing good their
You live up to the name ,"Geeks of Green",Ann. Your videos are very helpful and informative. Thanks a zillion for letting us know about leca.I wanted to use this one but I wanted a tried and tested information and was waiting for your video for I always look upto you.much love ❤
Thank you so much for sharing Ann❤️❤️❤️i would love to go for semi hydro for every plant, I have so far as I hate soil so much it always puzzles me when to water and when not to water.
These are designed to be used for hydroponics and semi-hydroponics. They may be too diluted to be used with soil. For soil ideally you need nutrients that get released slowly over time.
Hi, thanks for a very helpful video. Have you had any experience of growing agloenema in semi hydrophonic method, not just to propogate but forever. Thanks again.
Weekly flushing is also needed to avoid issues. Some might say its not necessary but once a healthy plant rots one will realise how important it is. Its better to be ready.
Mam my croton which has yellow dots (I don't know the name 😂) is not growing like stopped I actually shifted it to 16 inch pot but also it's not growing ☹️what to do?
Thanks for sharing this video , I'm thinking about hydroponic method from long but scared and having anxiety as don't have much knowledge.But from now InnshaAllah will try any one with confidence 💫Lots of Love 💕
Since the water level is not fully exposed and the top layer is only Leca, it is difficult for larvae to survive. I have never had mosquitoes breed there. Nonetheless, it's best to keep a keen eye out.
I am seeing centipedes inside the house after I started keeping some plants inside. How can this problem be solved? I don't want to move my plants outside. I have a toddler so can't afford to have bugs inside house. Please advise
Hey Ann what timing! Just ordered some leca myself. Please continue experimenting more with mediums. Would love to see you make your own substrate mix as well.
Hi, I love your videos they are always informative and I learn new things ever time.. I wanted to request you to make a video on staghorn fern please.. thank you 😊
Keeping water in an outer pot won’t be a breeding ground for mosquitoes particularly dengue? If mosquitoes don’t lay eggs in nutrient water then this is one of the best methods to grow plants inside home.

Since the water level is not fully exposed and the top layer is only Leca, it is difficult for larvae to survive. I have never had mosquitoes breed there. Nonetheless, it's best to keep a keen eye out.
Thank you Ann🌹

Its 2 years late reply but why not 😂 use soiless media like cocopeat, cocochips with perlite etc. Avoid soil.
Hydrophobic looks like a cleaner alternative to the mess make with soil
