This was fantastic, thank you! Anyone else jump and almost dive into their screen to catch that plant?! 😅 I'll be sure to pop a picture of my newest orbifolia into the group when I switch it over to leca! Hopefully this time I can keep it alive 😊

[@chrislynch1011]

Oh my goodness! Me! I actually put my hands out instinctively!

[@kyrad6543]

All hail the Queen of Orbifolia! It's the most glorious orbifolia I have ever seen. I'm so envious. I have one that's doing so-so but I want to buy another one and try leca!

[@AhmadAsrafHashim]

I was screaming TIMBER 😂

[@carolstuff]

You have the most beautiful calathea Orbifolia I’ve ever seen! Thanks for Q & A and sharing your 3 yrs journey with her Nora!

[@TheLecaQueen]

You are so welcome!

Mouth is dropped the whole time watching this video. And I just saw a big beautiful Orbifolia at Home Depot yesterday that I didn’t get😩 now I wanna go back and get it and show it your video 😂❤❤

[@deborahchetcuti4753]

My offer still stands for help with yr big babies. So hit me up, sista! So glad Orbi wasn't damaged!! That would have been tragic 😥 ❤

[@OMM-kl1zu]

So impressed by your Calathea - Orbifolia!!! I have had one in soil for the same amount to time and it is no where near the size of yours. I have recently bought another one from Bunnings and put it in Leca. I also use Organic + for all plants Hydroponic Nutrient by Manutec also bought from Bunnings. Cross fingers that my plant gets as big as yours in 3 years time. Thanks for this very informative video 😊

[@cheliajones9907]

oh my goodness. that is amazing how it grew so big.😮

[@toriwiebe8085]

So excited for this video!!! Thanks for letting me know on Insta that it's out!!

[@katerinapapakonstantinou4231]

A really amazingly helpful video, as always!!! Your fb group also sounds quite tempting. You ARE the Leca Queen, for sure... ❤❤❤

[@TheLecaQueen]

Oh thank you!

[@KayleneG]

I'm in SE Melbourne, would be happy to come and help you repot 😊 I would love to see your amazing plant in real life.

[@TheLecaQueen]

Amazing, hit me up on Instagram or Facebook and we can make the arrangements.

[@user-sh8vu2vl8u]

Thanks Nora, great information!

[@TheLecaQueen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@arlenecunningham7589]

Hi, love your orbifollia. I use my Sheffield's digestion. Water purifier for fish tanks. Just half a cap full.

[@lucianacapobianco1981]

Hi Leca Queen! Just begun following you and I absolutely love your videos 🫶🏻 I use a moisture meter with most of my plants, and I wanted to know if I need to wait until my Calathea Orbifolia is completely dry before I water it again. Also, is it true that this plant prefers rain or filtered water? There is some browning at the tip of some leafs 😢 It’s planted in soil, not leca. Thanks a lot. Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@AuntyMarlee]

Does she not have issues from cold being in the window during winter? I'm in Bendigo Victoria, Australia ❤ Edit I'll happily make the trip to help with the repot!

[@blackbeauti1540]

When I brought mine it died right bk and made a diy cabinet but leca never worked with mine, I used pon and now it growing like a weed.

[@arlenecunningham7589]

Oh also most of my plants are in the kitchen and getting lots of steam from my cooking

[@patriciajackson5414]

Hi Leca Queen. I live in the state of Maryland. The water in this apt is high in chemicals. Everything turns white from my water. Should I still take my Orbifolia to the sink and rinse anyway? HELP. I want my plants to grow something like yours.

[@chrislynch1011]

My orbifolia is crying in the corner after seeing this, should i take it to counselling to help is confidence? 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheLecaQueen]

You probably should😂😂😂

[@toroun1]

My Orbifolia was pot bound repotting in Pon when remove old soil had ‘bulbs/corms’ can I propagate/ sprout like Alocasia??

[@fainakub6092]

I check the PH in the reservoire if I see a problem on the plant and can´t explain it. Sometimes it is actually the PH, than I change the solution:)

[@TheLecaQueen]

That is good to hear, the point is to understand your plant and know it well, if that works for you and your plant then keep doing what your plant wants and what you can actually realistically do.

[@SandiesOrchids]

My Calathea Orbifolia gets brown edges is it not enough watering?

[@Max2U]

It is absolutely INCREDIBLE!👏🏽💚🍀🪴
