Love love love collaborations. Love these collaborators. Lee always makes me laugh. Your competitive nature speaks to my soul. Too funny that you reluctantly admitted to skimming over the instructions. We’ve all been there. Great video 💚

Where to start! LOL. So the plants that have multiple heads split them up. The plants with the necks plant them down deeper or cut the neck back and scrape the neck to peel off some of the skin so the roots will grow out of it. I then would either water root the stem or plant into soil. As for the sport it all depends what was the original color and what was the sport? If you leaf prop then you may get the original color but probably not. Now if you want to grow it up in size then you have to keep pinching back the flower stalks as soon as they start to grow so that energy goes to growing size and not bloom. Every 3-4 months pull the plant and remove the bottom row of leaves and remove any suckers( plantlets growing from the main neck) and repot back into the same pot. They really love to be tight and almost root bound. Being root bound triggers blooming. Let them go to full bloom approximately every 6 months and you’ll be very happy with the results

Crazy skills!

Does she have her own room? Gorgeous!

Hello Nora..beautiful lady with just beautiful plants. Where do you live?? I have queries to ask about some plants . If may I ??

Do we always want a plastic pot liner for the solution? Can we use the decorative pot as rhe liquid holder?

Do you know if the nutrients absorb through terra-cotta pots?

Wow your plants are breathtaking! If you’re able to grow plants like that in the UK, I can only imagine what you’d do if you lived in Florida!! 💚💚

🌱👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏽

Yes keep your Maria, she’s beautiful and happy

Your plants 🌱 are gorgeous 👌🏾💪🏽

It was good to see how using 2 poles didn’t work, and how you fixed the issue.

Do you put it j a clear pot with or without drainage? And how do you know when to water when using leca?

Thanks Nora. This was a fabulous list.

I was genuinely happy to see all the plant youtubers I follow be in this competition! The moment I saw the Autumn Princess in another video I instantly knew that was the Leca Queen's entry!

well this is absolutely fantastic! thank you. can I use this for pebbles that have been in pots with root rot etc ?

Absolutely gorgeous plants! In what product are you potting them? By the way, clever earrings.❤❤

How often do I water? Is there a diy water fertile that im suppose to use every time I water?

What mixture did you use for the dunk?

Im so glad I found your channel and I am very excited to try leca. My only problem is that just about every single one of my plants is a fern, peperomia, begonia or string of hearts. I dont know how they will react to LECA, please let me know what you think. Also I was wondering what plant was in your lechuza mini deltini it was adorable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge🥰

I have always loved these ferns, but never had luck keeping them alive! After watching your video, I will certainly give it another try!! Thank you so much, I love your channel ❤️ You are amazing!

Leca Queen, you have beautiful plants, I saw your Philodendron Birkin and I was so impressed of the beauty… I have one and it looks nothing like yours, soft flimsy leaves, rust spots as well, help!!! I’m going to cut the stem,only one stem, can I put it in leca after I cut it?

Absolutely love this challenge video!!! I watch you, Clair and Melissa 💜💜💜. You all are so amazing!!! Both plants displayed a huge amount of growth in such a short period of time. I haven't put any of my philodendron or pathos on moss poles, but I think this may be the year. Great job to both of you!!!

It was great. So exciting. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

“Battle for botanical glory” 🥳

Question concerning the transition of decades old, big Hoyas to mineral substrate: What is your opinion on the idea of cleaning the roots as usual, but then filling up only the bottom two thirds or so of the new, bigger pot with mineral substrate and then filling up the remaining top third with classical soil hoya substrate and embed the old soild-habituated toots in a radial, superficial fashion only into that top layer so that the plant can continue to supply itself in the way it grew used to until deeper, more water adapted roots develop and increasingly take over? Might that be a more atraumatic way, a genuine transition?

I do think Melissa deserved to win. She is the queen if moss poles and great upsizing growth.

Your plant is stunning one with those great colors.

My plants have grow lights on for 16 hours a day.

No sugar coating, direct, positively natural, and at the same time polite. Keep it up queen! One of the reasons I follow you ❤

Thanks so much for the wonderful insight! I truly enjoy your videos. Your passion, knowledge, and dedication is inspiring. You're amazing!

Don't the staples eventually rust?

I need this plant in my life! How beautiful 😍 I love, love, LOVE how you put this video together. You are awesome! I am so glad you where in this competition. I am going to love your channel.

I’m going to be changing my new plants to leca. Thank you ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦

Gorgeous 👏🏾 👏🏾

Loved the video, loved your plant, love that they continued with the competition this year. Congratulations on securing second place and I look forward to seeing what you do next time. Off to watch the other videos now.

OMG this was so much fun. But seriously, alot of variables here to consider: Soil vs LECA, easy philos vs alocasias.....really?? But all in all, nice to have the plant community involved in a fun competition. Next time, perhaps, they should be assigned the same plant.

guys this was soooo much fun- please do some more of these competitions/ challenges, absolutely loved everyone’s perspective 😃👌

You’re the winner in my book! A damn pothos grows like a weed outside without human intervention.

Thank you, Nora for this houseplant tour! So full of useful information and inspiration!💚💚

New viewer here. I subscribed too. I found you through Melissa @ plantsbymelissa. I stopped her video before the end. So I’m watching all the videos before I go back to Melissa’s channel to watch the ending wish you luck.

I like these challenges

This was such a fun video, you had me laughing all the way through the video🤣🤣🤣. You are all winners with those lovely beauties. But you my dear….will forever be our Queen!!!

Putting my painted lady in Leca and on a moss pole today

Gorgeous 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Plastic drop cloth??

Your philo is just Amazing, the race was pretty tight in my opinion 💕

Loved the video!! Such impressive growth at the end 😮 I definitely felt you were one of my biggest competitors! It was fun getting to work with you on this challenge!!

Love this video and the challenges. Subjection: self watering pot with an air tube. Will have place you in first place. You still a Winner to me. 🪴Happy Planting🌿

Everything looks so wonderful. I just have one question. When you get ready to upsize the pot, how do you get the roots out of all those holes? Do you just cut them?
