✅ 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.

You are my leca mentor. I’m so glad I found you first and established a strong knowledge foundation. Other plant channels are all judged with you as the standard.

[@dollycaldwell4938]

I agree...keep it simple and basic.....it is supposed to be fun & gratification!!

[@Ravenelvenlady]

Thank you Leca Queen for this quick beginner summary. Much love to you and yours. 💖🤗💖🌱🌿💖🤗🙏🏾🌿🌱💖

[@TheLecaQueen]

You are so welcome and same to you.

I transplanted an awesome succulent into LECA for the first time yesterday. I became brave enough because the plant was not doing so well. I was thinking of tossing it, so I had nothing to lose. It instantly perked up and is on its way to becoming my favorite plant.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Nice one!!

[@carolstuff]

Good tips; thanks Nora!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Thank you 😊

[@keyahsblair]

Coming from being an aquarium hobbyist for over 20yrs... I've found that adding a thin layer of clean washed sand(like play sand or in my case aquarium sand) to the bottom of the reservoir pot keeps the water cleaner and the PH stable longer. Just my experience being a plant parent and beginning a leca journey. My personal tweaks lol API stress coat water conditioner and sand! Research the benefits of sand contributions to water filtration. 🌱💚

[@TheLecaQueen]

I would love to learn more about this. Would you be open to showing me on the semihydroponics Facebook group, preferably with pics or video?

[@keyahsblair]

@TheLecaQueen Absolutely!!! 🤯🥰🤗

[@Gkrissy]

True no more fungus gnats but I did get my first scale on my philodendron Xanadu. But I removed it with rubbing alcohol.thank you for getting me into leca, it helps me for travel.

[@TheLecaQueen]

I found scale on my philo ghost as well!!

[@kierstinhoadley9996]

Any chance you can do a video on Silic acid for plants? I'd love to know your opinion

[@aplantprocess]

Love this!

[@psychrn6496]

Thank you for the tips. I’ve got my leca ordered and very excited to begin on a new journey.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Good luck!!

[@Julizabatz9891]

Thank you for the tips Queen 🙏 Quick question? When summer time,and how do you care for them your plants?

[@Chris-op7yt]

have you tried pumice (2-8mm size)? in my experience the lecca doesnt seem to absorb anything, with the pores being sealed. may not matter but the pumice does retain some moisture.

[@TheLecaQueen]

The pores in leca are not sealed. Assuming you are using proper leca that is. The clay is expanded and wicks using capillary action.

[@kamalikapaul]

My watermelon peperomia and pilea plant not rooting in water after removing the soil roots as I want to transfer them in leca.. plz advise 😢

[@amy-n6l]

Hey leca queen.Can we keep the plants in leca and water in AC rooms?Is there anything we need to take care of?plz guide me.I'm a beginner in leca

[@omarb7164]

Yes that should be fine. Just don’t let plants sit near or in front of any vents/air drafts
