Growing in Leca Series Pt 1 Step by Step Grow Plants in Leca Philodendron Hoya Orchid Houseplants

[@msgee3304]

I have been trying to find a simple and comprehensive video on how to propagate and/or just grow plants using LECA. Yours definitely provided the instruction I needed. Thanks so much for keeping it simple. What type of fertilizer do you use when growing plants in LECA?

[@PeggysPlants]

I'm pleased you found the video helpful. I use the same fertilizer I use on all of my plants. I use Miracle Gro granuals at 1/4 strength. I know many people don't use MG, but I've been using it for years and it works for me. Thanks for watching!

[@LiaGabriela]

@@PeggysPlants And how many drops you ad to plant's water? Thanks for such a clear lesson.

[@dlwcrazyblondeone]

@@PeggysPlants Oh my gosh, I just came to the comments to ask this very question, I always used Miracle Grow for my plants and am just starting with Leca, and was overwhelmed at the prices of the fertilizer they were all using with Leca and so glad you use Miracle Grow! Thank you!!!

I moved all my plants to leca and lechuza pon I’ve lost a few but it’s ok bc I’m learning and I love that you said you don’t ph your water I don’t either and that’s not a reason I post a plant I had put too much fertilizer in and my roots were sitting in water that’s the mistake I made but like I said I’m learning

[@PeggysPlants]

Probably half of my plants are in LECA and I have a couple in pon. I've been using LECA for many years and find it works best for me, especially with thirsty plants. Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy growing!

[@jo-eq6zw]

I have just started to grow in Leca, your video was great and helped me no end. You made it sound so simple and it is once you know!. I grow Hoyas and orchids....Thank you.

[@PeggysPlants]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I find growing in leca to be easy and much neater than in soil. At this point, I think about 80% of my plants are in Leca and doing well. Happy growing!!!

[@Revelation21.4]

Loved this video! Great introduction into Leca. Some videos can get overwhelming but yours is one I'll forward to friends who are just starting out. Leca can seem so technical and it really doesn't have to be! I don't PH my water and my plants are doing just fine. To know you have been doing it for years that way brings me comfort in what I'm doing. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this very informative video. Your clear speaking and instructions kept me listening and watching!!! I saw some instructions about soaking of LECA balls before use. Is this necessary since I don’t see you doing it? Thank you, once again!

[@PeggysPlants]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for the positive feedback. I rinse LECA before using it, but I don't soak. I've been using LECA long before it became popular and my plants haven't complained about the LECA not being soaked yet. 😆 I'm sure there is a good reason behind it, but I tend to keep things as simple as possible. Happy growing!

[@jazy3091]

Thank you for this video, I like how it's really step by step with explanation at each point. I have a question: do you remove old soil-roots after they died out? Would it be dangerous to the plant if I dig it out of leca, remove these roots and then replant into fresh leca with just water roots? I kind of feel I don't want to keep rotten roots in a jar

[@PeggysPlants]

I'm pleased you found my video helpful. Thanks for watching. Yes, you can remove the soil roots. The nice thing about using Leca is it is easy to remove them from the Leca without damaging the plant/roots. I remove my plants to clean up the roots as well as to remove algae, without any problems. No need to keep the rotten roots. 🌿💚

[@jazy3091]

@@PeggysPlants Oh that's so good to know. Thank you. I'm starting my friendship with plants and already messed up few plants with wrong type of soil and overwatering 🤦‍♀ So I hope leca will help me maintaining it better. Oh I have another question: can I mix a gravel / decorative grit (sorry, English isn't my mother tongue and I'm not sure how it's called, I mean a nice looking little rocks that you can buy in plant shops) with leca to make it a little bit more attractive to look at?

Hooray Peggy for this video! I remember asking you about your orchids quite a while ago and I'm so happy to see more details on your orchids in leca. I feel comfortable rooting in leca but have converted only a couple plants to growing in leca. I really like the Talenti gelato plastic jars for rooting or growing in leca for smaller plants (yes, i like Talenti gelato so I have quite a few). I use a wood burning tool (outside of course) to melt/add two or three holes around the base for the flushing. The lid for the jar makes a nice little coaster for the jar.

[@PeggysPlants]

Sounds like you're well on your way and have figured things out. That's great! I love the use of the Talenti plastic jars. Very resourceful. Happy growing!

Yes you can use a vessel without a hole. I like to have a hole to control the water level and so that I can flush the clay pellets periodically, Once the algea gets bad, you can just remove the plant, wash the vessel and the pellets. Then you just put everything back in again.

Hi Peggy, thanks for the video. This is November 2022. Is your process the same for Leca? I want to try using Leca but I don’t want to go through that Ph process. I’m a new plant owner and have lost many a plant because I forget to water. This process seems so clean. I watch Orchid girl videos and want to grow a few orchids. Thanks for your response and thanks for keeping your plant growing and care simple.

Hello! My Leca process has not changed in years and I'm still doing everything the same way. It has really worked for me when it comes to difficult plants. I still don't have a clue what the PH is for any of my plants and they continue to thrive. I think you will be surprised at how easy working with Leca is.

I’m not doing the ph test too but you are right if plant don’t like it thy will let you know. Thanks. Btw what kind of tool are you using toput holes on your glass?

[@PeggysPlants]

I use a diamond bit drill bit and a drill. Several people have asked, so I will do a video showing how it is done next week. Thanks for watching.

My vases doesnt have holes in them is that a problem?

[@PeggysPlants]

Many people grow in vessels without holes. This is just what works for me. Find what works for you and run with it! Happy growing!
