✅ About The Leca Queen :
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).
I show you how my beautiful plants grow in LECA and help you achieve the RESULTS that I have. I cover a TON of leca growing tips, a very comprehensive leca 101 where I hold your hand and help you navigate the world of semi-hydroponics.
I love to experiment and discover different ways of taking care of plants. There is no right or wrong way, just the way that works for you and your plants. Join me on my many plant adventures.

I wanted to share something that you've inspired and that IS WORKING amazingly well! Trying to replicate your Long Method, I started my plants in a nutrient solution of rain water, Clonex, and a water-soluble root stimulator. But here's a tweak I made that I believe has exponentially increased the chances of saving my rotting Alocasias: Once I saw new roots developing, I started adding Lechuza Pon (is all I have) to the container. Every few days, I freshen the nutrient solution and add a bit more of the substrate. Little by little, the ratio of liquid solution to rocky surround has decreased, and the plants are now at a height in the container in which the roots are no longer fully submerged---the pon is actually wicking the nutrient up to the plants, as it should, and the roots are acclimatized and functioning in a healthy, efficient way. It took about 5-6 weeks altogether, but with this long and steady approach, I've been able to heal the root rot my Alocasias were succumbing to, and I'm getting new leaves even while I'm still in the middle of winter! What do you think? Would it be wise to experiment with other types of plants? I really think starting in all hydro and slowly increasing the amount of substrate makes for a gentle-but-effective transition! If you try it my tweak, please let me know how it works for you. I appreciate all you share and all you've taught "us", your audience!
@graceakagrace Жыл бұрын
Great idea!!! I'm curious w/a few follow-up questions pls: After how many weeks did you start adding PON pls? Which water soluble root simulator did you use too? Did you experience any leaf drop?

@@graceakagrace Roots starting forming around week 4 in rain water plus Clonex, so that's when I started adding pon. On week 5, I switched to rain water and Bonide 412 Root n' Grow Stimulator. No more Clonex. Yes, there was leaf drop, of course. That's what Alocasias do. They look like they're going to die, and just when you're ready to give up and toss them in the trash, they say, "Just kidding! I'm gonna grow now." They will look marvelous for a year, just long enough for you to feel confident, and then they will drop all but 1 leaf and put you through the rigmarole all over again.

I was ready to quit but watching your video made me want to keep trying. I am mainly trying with cuttings but maybe I didn't wait long enough for the roots to grow in water. I have more cuttings in water, I will be patient and follow your method!

The 2 plants that I have moved from soil to leca are now departed and in plant heaven 😪. As much as I love my plants, I hate fungus gnats more. I've got 2 more plants which are ready to go into the leca (I think). Hopefully, I get the hang of semi hydroponics, and these do better than the first two. I am about ready to dispose of all of my plants to get rid of the gnats.

I've always been curious about plants growing in water. I've made a list of houseplants that are not toxic to cats because i have 2 fur babies.. I'll be working my way down the list of experimenting with your methods, the first one on the list is watermelon peperomia couldn't find a single video on it for the life of me BUT i got reaaal lucky finding one of your videos on that plant. I'm glad ive stumbled upon your channel because of my curiosity. I've just purchased growth technology root zone and clone solution. Next is a trip to bunnings for some leca. I wanted to do leca and plant all in one vase/pot but having two compartments with the holes really makes more sense i suppose for the flush then dry and special sauce refresh. I mean i guess i could try both ways start out experimenting. The worst part is waiting for all the materials now haha. Keep up the good work 🤙🏽

Thank you for watching. About the pH, look to be honest, I try not to overthink it! There are so many scientific reasons why what I am doing should not work but the whole point of this for me is for this to be as easy as possible so if I need to be doing more than what I already doing then it is not for me. That is not to say you should not do it, I encourage you to do it if you want to. For me, that is in the too-hard basket. If my plants don't like it they will tell me. Not very helpful I know...😁 Plus also, my premixed solution never lasts that long! Too many plants, in fact my problem is making enough. I now make about 50L of solution if I am changing solution for everyone!

It just so happened that my local store had it, and Mike who works there… I love talking with him, he says he’s been using it for 20+ years and loves it! He didn’t realize when I came in asking about the product which one it was. Only thing they didn’t have was the foliage focus. Also, I shared your page with a customer who saw me buying leca and a few orchid pots. And… it’s definitely a Caladium Hilo, not Alocasia!

Would u recommend doing this with seedlings? I’m buying a small plant and was wondering if i should wait it out or not x
@TheLecaQueen 2 жыл бұрын
It depends on the plant and how small it is. I generally move my small plants.

Hello Nora 👋👋👋👋 When you make the solution, are you saying it's only solution with no water added at all or is it mixed with water?

Do you have any advice in transferring a plug plant into semi hydro? I have a beautiful lemon lime maranta that I purchased a few weeks ago and I can’t find any info online whatsoever on converting to semi hydro. I’m assuming I would need to remove the plug.
@TheLecaQueen 2 жыл бұрын
I almost always get very small plants nd they have plug. I simply remove them from the plug very gently, it helps to use a house and a relatively high pressure setting and then put the plant in leca or nutrient solution.

@TheLecaQueen Жыл бұрын
It depends on how much the water roots have grown. Some plant roots grow faster than others so hard to give a firm time period. I always look for sizeable secondary roots. If I am not sure I leave it there for a few more weeks.
