This is a complete guide to growing houseplants in LECA and Semi Hydroponics (Passive Hydroponics). In this video, I will show you tips and tricks to growing plants in LECA successfully. I converted over 100 plants to LECA and semi hydroponics a year ago and they have been thriving ever since. I've had success growing a lot of different plants in LECA like philodendron, anthurium, monstera, epipremnum, sansevieria, dracaena, hoya, schefflera, syngonium, anydrium and others! There's a lot in this video but this is a basic guide and I reveal to you my secrets. I guess you can say that this is like a how to video about how to grow plants in LECA and semi hydroponics (passive hydroponics).

Kevin you are my favorite plant influencer. You are so bubbly, concise in info and just a treasure to watch. I tell my mom we are friends, even though you don’t know me :) It’s like watching my bestie do plant stuff. Thanks for all your help in all your videos & helping me decide on what and how to do hydroponics as I am transitioning my first plant. Also damn you for making all those Hoya videos and making me want all your plants! ❤😊 I have some hot wish list plants I’ve purchased from watching you. Just wanted you to know you are so appreciated and adored. ❤

Stay out of your head! This is the best hydroponic video I've watched! You are easy to listen to and thorough without making the viewer anxious about transitioning to this process! You are very relatable and realistic. And it doesn't hurt that you have a great personality! Keep shining! ♥️ Now I'm off to to get my supplies to get started!

Omg Kevin you are an absolute gift. Thanks for this, I've only done soils and regular hydro before, and when I found out about pon and leca semi-hydro, I had to try it. Thanks for not splitting this all into 50 videos, I got to chill and listen to someone talk about my favorite subject

Absolutely a fantastic video! The best one I've seen so far, and probably the last one for me, because I received ALL the info I needed to move my baby Adenium plants to LECA medium. I have 50 of them, and I was wondering for the need of an individual pot, rather than having them in rows of five, for easier maintenance. Thank you very much for providing so much info. Greatly appreciated. Regards, and happy 2022 from the Tucson Arizona desert, where today, December 28, 2021, the sun is shining and the temp is in the upper 70F degrees.
