I thought as much, thank you for confirming that for me.

Not your imagination! I've had a couple cuttings in water for six months that now have massive roots, so they're just begging to go to Semi Hydro. Haven't even fertilised the water or changed it!

Thank you, peperomias are becoming like Hoyas for me! A bit addictive

Fails are very much a normal part of plant care, I am glad you were encouraged.

It was my favorite!

Maybe they were like my Rugosa!😁

I think I'm gonna try it but I'm gonna start with something common like "Frost" or P. caperata "Russo", since they're easily replaced and I already have some cuttings rooted in water, for about six months now. I've done nothing with them but their water roots are extensive. It would be a shame to lose now, but I think the 'long method' is probably better for Pep's if you're putting in LECA. I'm scared to even touch any recent ones I've purchased, like my pride and joy raindrop Polybotrya. Their root systems are soo fine and delicate, and each time that I've repotted a Pep it's hit or miss. I've also noticed the growers wrap mesh around the root ball. I wonder if that's an issue in the end?

That's my Peperomia Watermelon....just refuses to take up the leca lifestyle!!! I've tried 3 times with no success. I know it's possible cos Nora has done it. I think the plants I've used were just not healthy to begin with...🤔

Thank you. Thanks for the feedback. I am trying to find a happy medium with the music, forgive me while I finesse it 😌 🙏

Thank you 😊

Yes, thank you. It is a shame the Rugosa did not make it. However, I was kinda glad it happened because I was able to show that sometimes transitions just do not work, and that too is ok!

I have all my peperomia and violets in leca with zero dramas.

@@TheLecaQueen that's awesome. Just the transitioning scares me a bit. Would love to see more if your African violets. I used to grow them years ago but then I eventually lost interest especially when they were not in bloom.

Hey Erik!! Missed you. I hope you have a great year!

@@TheLecaQueen it’s been crazy over here… so much happening…how was your holiday season? Planty? ☘🌿🌷seem to ignore my own resolutions to stop acquiring more! Seems I “always have a spot” for them. Just got a tradescantia nanouk today, first time, and a Philo. micans at the grocery store… $8.99 each, can’t pass that up! 😭

@@erikm8372 Holiday season is always insane! You got a Nanouk!!! I really want that plant!!!

Not yet! I have not. Why did she say it would not transition?

@@TheLecaQueen her reasoning was that it's more like a succulent and wouldn't thrive in water. I tried to explain my intention of transferring it to semi hydro, leca. She insisted that since it was propagated in soil it wouldn't survive. I re-watched your pepperomia video and the "long method" video but thought it safer to get your opinion 😊

Not Bunnings. I got them from an online store called My Jungle Shack.

@@TheLecaQueen Yep I know them! Thanks 😊

Welcome!interesting enough you are the second person to mention this. I certainly did not realise. Could be change in light conditions during recording and editing. It could also be a genuine stem colour change, the plants were going through a radical change so who knows. Maybe I should experiment with different light conditions.

It is just a baby plant. They sell them primarily for people to use when making terrariums.

How long did you have it in the CCS?

@@TheLecaQueen it's been sitting in water with the CCS + root zone for two days. Was in soil for a month before then and was happy. Maybe in a bit of shock. Should I put in leca? I have soaked leca ready to go. Thanks 🌿

Hello, thanks for watching. any colour pots with drainage and ventilation will work just fine. I like the clear ones because I can see the roots.

Thanks for such a quick response!

While building up my collection of clear pots, I have some in ordinary nursery pots sitting in nutrient and the plants are doing fine - but, like Nora, I do prefer to see the roots. One thing though, I do make holes in the sides of the nursery pots with a soldering iron

Thanks for reaching out, world gone wrong. I’m just starting out with leca,obviously, and your help is greatly appreciated. I have some of my smaller plants in clear orchid pots but I’m trying to utilize what I have and have found I can use the plastic nursery pots if they are sturdy and yes, I do put holes in them, per Nora. Again, thank you 😊

That is certainly a possible reason, I will try to find a smaller one.

Sorry about that, navigating my way and learning the ropes.

Hello, I am sorry you feel that way. Sometimes I get help with certain things like video descriptions and some things get missed. I hope you are forgiving enough to accept my humanity.

Maybe focus on the plants and the methods and less on language and entertainment.

I love the word, it is truly glorious! But then again I think you hit the nail on the head but flipped it, I call them all glorious because they are all glorious to me. no plant is better than another in my eyes, they are all magical and works of art, aka GLORIOUS!!
