Check out my video where I demonstrate converting two bird of paradise plants from soil to leca.
I employ two methods to determine the most effective one: the 'Long Method' for one plant and direct placement in leca for the other. Watch the entire video to discover the superior method. Finally, I combine both plants in leca using a self-watering Lechuza pot, creating a magnificent master Bird of Paradise plant.
The video is about How To Successfully Move Your Bird Of Paradise From Soil To Leca valuable information but also tries to cover the following subject:

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).

So, where i grew up in the mountains of CA BOP were natural slow growers bc they held their leaves for years and when it flowered those lasted upward of 3 months. I think you putting all of them together will end up making them happy as they grow in tight bunches, which should help with them not falling over. And finally i think the solution helped force a leaf but again bops grow slow.

They do grow in bunches, I did not even think about that! Thank you for sharing.

Great idea with making more holes in the pot!! I was excited to get a lovely, Lechuza pot-and months later wanted to flush all my plants--I can’t flush this large monstera or gaze upon her roots 😩😱. She is doing well,,,,so will wait to repot/make holes. LOVE your work!!

Hello. Agree with a comment below regarding the instant update, as we are always curious how the plants and their roots are going. By the looks of it the need to soak the roots for a couple of weeks doesn't seem necessary but I do love the watch those water roots appear. 🌸

Oooh I like that! I've been debating on whether I should my 3 into one pot or not. They're very little right now in 10cm pots and about 30cm from the bottom of the pot to the tallest leaf. I really like how bushy yours appear now and obviously how much less space for pots! 😍

@TheLecaQueen Жыл бұрын

Exactly Marisa, kill a few birds with one stone 🤣🤣🤣 ( I should stop! My kids tell me I am not funny) But yes you create room for more plants and your BoP looks impressive! Imagine how awesome that will be in a few years!

Just got a White Bird of Paradise plant along with a Fiddle Leaf Fig plants for indoors. I have purchased full spectrum grow lights for both of them. I would like to know if your leca method would work for the Fiddle Leaf Fig? I could not find a link anywhere as what the special sauce is or where I can get it? Thank you as your video is very informative.

@SuperUsername147 Жыл бұрын

Question. How do you repot a plant in leca when the root system has gone crazy growing into the cache pot? I always damage my root system because the roots get knotted together. I don’t want to cut them out of the pots because then I lose a pot…

Hard to say without seeing the plant. I recommend putting a picture up in the semihydroponics with the leva queen face book group. In the mean time this video might help: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fatim9CW1Naumqc.html

YOUR METHOD IS GREAT FOR ANOTHER PLANT B.O.P NEEDS WATERS THE LECA DRIES OUT YOO MUCH. THE ROOTS IN THE WATER LOOKS LIKE SOME ARE BLK NOT GOOD. IF THAT IS WHAT I AM SEEING. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR PLANTS YOU LOOK LIKE YOU LOVE THEM AS I DO.

@TheLecaQueen Жыл бұрын

Thank you. The leca does not dry out if the reservoir has nutrient solution. It may look dry but it is not. The black bits are just what the roots look like. I will do an update of this plant. To say this pot is thriving is an understatement. All 3 are doing well and the roots have grown out of the inner pot into the reservoir and look fabulous.

@3SiameseCats Жыл бұрын

I would do this except mine is huge. A $40 wouldn’t even be big enough for the pot, plus it seems quite happy how it is.

@TheLecaQueen Жыл бұрын

I find it helps to move plants to leca when they are still on the smaller side. I was really happy with how these turned out, one of my best successes I would say.
