Rooting Hoya Plants in LECA (Hydroton) Let’s Chat!

[@crowns4u2]

I love the tone of your voice. It’s very comforting and encouraging. Thank you.

[@xyz-pg3zd]

I can stare at your hoyas for days. So lush! Thriving! So awesome

[@peaches1431]

Wow best video I've seen and I watch a lot keep up the good work ! ❤️👍

[@LizQuincy]

Ok this is very helpful but your lovely voice also gives me ASMR so I'm having a hard time not being lulled into sleep :)

[@TheLucille7]

Learning so much from your videos. Please keep Leca information coming

[@reneeprince6790]

So happy I watched this video today. I divided my Hoya crimson queen (I think that’s what she is) and put one in dyi pon and the other in Leca. The pon one transitioned easily but the leca one is going thru the ugly stage right now. It’s hard not to fret about it but I’m going to trust the process. My other leca plants (orchids, pothos) all go thru this too and come through just fine. Thank you for telling us that there is often a not so pretty stage and to keeping moving forward 😊🪴

[@kimberleyanddavidcaradus7409]

This is such a helpful and I formative video! Thank you for being so kind and encouraging, I’ve literally just brought home my first bag of Leca and am excited to try it after watching your content. I’ve previously rooted my cuttings in perlite or sphagnum moss so I can’t wait to *actually* see the roots!

[@TheConfusedhero]

Thank you so much for the information! I got a grey ghost cutting 2 weeks ago and kept it in leca. The leaf started getting a little soft and there are still no New leafs. I will leaf it and keep it a little warmer. Wish me luck!

[@CorkysPlants]

That’s an awesome plant!! I hope it pulls through for you!

[@mikekufner1192]

I know this is a dumb question but how do you know when the leca is dry before watering again? I have 3 plants in leca but they are not hoyas so I don't let the leca dry down ever and they are okay with that. I want to take some cuttings from a hoya a have and put it in leca as an insurance policy in case I loose the plant. Plus it seems way easier to keep them in leca. I am a believer after transitioning a few plants over as an experiment. They have really done so well. Hopefully you get this message. I know its an old video.

[@TheSparkyparker]

I'm in love with all your beautiful plants here! How long does it usually to take to root? I'm too worry and skeptical to check if they are rooting yet.

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Interesting thanks. I bought some cuttings and the seller just couldn't get them to root in water or leca even after several weeks. She was moving away so I brought them home and the leaves fell off one cutting the same day 😥 I'm new to hoyas.

[@stephanienelson2423]

I've been trying to root hoya krimson queen cuttings in water for 3 weeks now and so far no roots ... should I keep going with water? Or would it be safe to switch to leca and hope that helps? One of my cuttings leaves is starting to get soft n wrinkled so before it dies I'm hoping to get some roots popping out. 🙏🏼

[@ofhismercy109]

I like your pace and I do just like to look at the plants....

[@laurenrussell1791]

Had trouble hearing you. Didn't want to miss any tips. I think your mic was to low on shirt? But I could see your hoyas look great!

[@ccarroca1]

Wow. I haven’t heard of anyone not keeping a reservoir filled. Is this how you do it still in 2023?

[@CorkysPlants]

I’m sorry I’m 8 months late 😅 as long as you can water frequently, I think not keeping a reservoir works great. Much less likely to rot the plant.

[@mimit4346]

I tried and all my new cuttings grow roots fast and new leaves within 2 months, thanks

[@CorkysPlants]

That’s amazing!!

[@suhyeonandflowers.2419]

Is it hydroball? It grows well even if you just plant it there. I'll have to try it. I live in Hoya. Thank you for the good information.🌸🥰🥰

[@lucyeloisa7165]

If you use just 1 small cutting, do you use the same size pot (4 inch) ? Or a smaller one?

[@sierra734]

I love how my Crimson Queen puts out all white leaves or pink so beautiful 😍 tfs I’m new to Leca this year . Your correct it is a learning process , but I haven’t lost a plant in Leca yet

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Hi , just found your channel via sma channel. I do grow some of my hoyas in leca too .Great video and advice. That is what i found too, hoyas just love leca. Thanks for sharing and happy growing. 😊

[@tmlovesjm]

Really useful info! I converted most of my hoya and philodendron to leca. Finding it difficult to find good info on it. New subbie!

[@lilliandolan8775]

Did you include nutrients like vitamins superthrive while they are rooting or no?

[@lilliandolan8775]

Or just regular water? Im going to do this with a krohniana that i JUST got in the mail that rotted

[@rolove4552]

Hi, I have a brand new lawyer cutting that I bought online, I bought a bag of the Leque and I have the little containers and a little cup that goes underneath I also bought a heat mat do I just said the heat mat up and then put everything on it and how long does it need to sit on the mat?

[@louisabyr6826]

Plants are beautiful. Hoyas seem to like Lecca.

[@sherri54]

4.21.24 hi. i know i'm 4 years late and hope you see this. i just came across this video and want to know what the name of the plant is that you have listed Urban Hoya Jungle?

[@you_r_my-world2288]

I love your Hoyas and the LECCA

[@cbullar2773]

Great video! Just starting out with rooting in leca! Crossing all fingers and toes. Do you plan to ever plant these back in a potting mix or are you going to keep them in leca? Thanks! :D

[@CorkysPlants]

My plan is to keep them in leca. For me, plants do much better in leca. Every time I unpot soil plants, I find dead roots. When I look at roots in leca, they are happy.

[@Allsmilesgirl277]

Just found your videos/channel! My ears perked up when you said that you were from northern indiana! I’m also from northern indiana, now living away. What city/area are you in? I have a few cuttings that I’m going to try this method with, great video!

[@CorkysPlants]

I'm near South Bend :) How about you?

[@Allsmilesgirl277]

@@CorkysPlants oh WOW! I grew up in Elkhart! We’re Michiana girls, I love it! I currently live in Charleston, SC, but will always be a Midwest girl at heart!❤️

[@KelliesHoya]

Your Hoyas look great! I love the large veined leafs!!

[@CorkysPlants]

Thank you, so much 🥰 the veiny one is awesome isn’t it!!

[@KelliesHoya]

@@CorkysPlants yes!! I recently got some plugs from Thailand and have them in soil. I left the coconut husk on the roots do you think that will cause issues? I bottom water them.

[@curachachacha]

Hi do u put these inside a propagation box to maintain the humidity or do u just leave them as is?

[@alouella]

Thank you for sharing your experience

[@aaleenaachan2290]

One more question please.. Can these be outside under a roof or they have to be indoor?

[@debrag3666]

Thanks for sharing

[@eva717]

Hi, just want to ask if why theres no water under your lecca thank you

[@missij.7947]

Maybe you mentioned this and I just missed it, but how long typically does it take for the cutting to get roots?

[@CorkysPlants]

I’m sorry that I missed your question! I would say that I usually see roots in a week. I don’t hover over them though. By a month, they are solid and putting out new growth.

[@amandalandaverde2622]

super helpful thank you!! 💛

[@dinamourelatos4316]

Hi like your videos i too am new to leca i transfered a few recently what nutrients are you using and do you you start to give nutrients right away thx

[@CorkysPlants]

Thank you! I use General Hydroponics nutrients. The flora series. I start adding nutrients after a week or so.

[@triciaboyce2308]

Great video my friend...awesome info!! keep it coming 🪴

[@mvictorkisiel8015]

Missed the name of hoya with long narrow sorta twisted leaves ? Please and thank you.

[@ericatorres1080]

Great video!!!! Thanks for the info!!!!

[@sarimosher]

Do you use a humidifier? Your hoyas look amazing.

[@CorkysPlants]

Thank you! No, I don’t use any out of the ordinary humidity. Our furnace has a humidifier on it, but it only stayed about 30% during the winter. I think lots of bright light is the key to their happiness. The nice thing is that grow lights are easier than trying to supplement humidity!

[@pudgyplanter1130]

where do you get the little reservoir plastic pots??

[@CorkysPlants]

Those are from Lowe’s, in the plant area. :)

[@pudgyplanter1130]

@@CorkysPlants Great! thank you so much! great video!

[@lisalee186]

How do u add nutrients ?

[@ccarroca1]

Your plant in 1639 looks like it might have flat mites. Look into sulfur treatment for flat mites

[@mariefrancoiseambomo2103]

Hooo mon Dieu comment faites vous pour avoir d'aussi jolies plantes 😍🤩😳

Hiow often do you give your hoya fertiliser?

New Subbie here... I Love Love your channel... thank you for all your tips... If you can put on screen the name of the plants that will be awesome!! because my spelling is really bad LOL... great video!

I will try to do that next time! Thank you for your kind comment 🥰

[@djones09061]

[@marysunshine389]

Do any of those plants have any water in them?

[@CorkysPlants]

I let the pots dry out before adding more water. I think of the leca as a soil replacement, and I just water it with hydroponic nutrients. Seems to me working well. The roots are not harmed by drying out. But I do see roots at the very bottom go mushy when they sit in the same water too long.

[@aaleenaachan2290]

Hi, how often do you give your hoya fertiliser?

[@CorkysPlants]

aaleenaa chan I forgot to mention that part! I water with nutrient water about every other time that I water. I use General Hydroponics fert.

[@ritabailey4897]

Not really a reservoir. That is something to hold a quantity of something, usually water. They are called drip trays. Your voice is way too soft for these videos. You should get someone to do the voice work for you. Nice plants.
