What Happens When I try to be PRODUCTIVE

I was SO excited to finally move these Hoya cuttings to LECA and then the momentum just got obliterated when I ran out of resources 😩
It’s such a fun medium to test out because it’s no mess compared to soil and requires much less upkeep. I top off the reservoir when it gets low and every two weeks, I “flush” the LECA by running it all under the sink. If I feel extra spicy, I’ll do a hydrogen peroxide/water flush if there’s any algae build up.
Pro tip: Mesh laundry bags are a great way to wash and store LECA for future use 🤌
As a bonus, I’m going on another trip soon so all my LECA plants will be many less things to worry about when it comes to watering.
Have you tried LECA? Also, WHY does everything take 10000x longer than you planned 🫠🫠🫠🫠

The “they went to college” killed me
Kids grow up so fast these days 🥹
Hahahaha same. I cackled out loud.
I came here to make the same comment!
LOVE your content!!! Funny and informative. ❤
This is so freaking accurate, it takes so long to repot stuff
Never ends!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow what is this storage closet?…
What closet are you referring to?
"Went right to work!" #truth
Busy busy busy 🤓
Wait… did you just pressure wash your leca using a garment bag?! Smart💡
I sure did 😂
Brilliant!!
Why does it need to be washed?
@@xcountryrunner9 leca usually comes very dusty, it can cause drainage issues if there's a lot of debris and if you have a water system it can mess up whatever machine you're using. I mainly do it so the reservoir doesn't look dirty, I don't use it often though.
It’s a MUST HAVE! It so easy with the garment bag 👌
I got a hoya cutting from a family friend and it wouldn't die (thankfully). I'd forget to water it for months and then drown it and it always stayed fine. It's a crazy hearty plant
They are!!
Algae is good for production of oxygen! But if you don't like it then just cover the clear pots with an opaque material! 😊
Yup!
Oh i love my hoyas. My pothos/philodendrons, hoyas, and my monsteras are pretty much the plants that love me most. The krimson queen is so freaking pretty when it starts vining out❤
I’m hoping for blooms! 🥰
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow 🤞🤞
I kid you not I’ve had this plant for YEARS never knowing what the name is and I just randomly stumbled across this video and I now know it’s a hoya carnosa, THANK YOU
😅😅😅woohoo
“They went to college” 😂
I miss them so much
I have never related to a plant vid so much
Hahaha 🙌
Love the energy
Thank you
My Lecca is coming tomorrow… thank you for saving my shower drain… lol
HAHAHA yes! Rinse outdoors 🫶
This is hands down the best CZcams channel I’ve found. 😂🎉
Oh my goodness 🙈 I feel unworthy of this praise. Thank you 🫶
You always do something funny! I respect you don't show your kids' faces, bravo mama
Thank you! 💛
Damn i wish i had friends who would sent me cuttings..
I find local fb groups are great place to start too
Me at the end.
Hahaha ✊
Ours was 40 years old, in a dilapitated pot, super old earth, above a heater in the worst possible spot, around 4 metres long. After having to move it to paint the windowframe, I gave it fresh earth when I put it back. Within a few weeks it died of rotted roots😢. I still miss its smell and the nectar.
Oh nooooo. That hurts 🥺
You’re so funny 😂 I subbed 😁🪴🩵
Hello and welcome 🥰
How did I miss this video 😅 guess I didn't get a notification? Nooo!!! Never wanna miss your videos 😂
This one is actually an old one! Haha
@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Ooh, now that makes sense. Lol 😆.
Good call on the power washer!
Haha it came in handy
Hilarious lol love this!
😂 thanks!
Me watching this after years of cleaning my leca inside 👁👄👁
Lol 🙈
I'm jealous. I want a few Hoya. I have none as of yet
These are my first and I love them already!
Just ran into your channel! I love it!
Thank you! 💕

HELP! I think my little Philodendron gigas is dying and I don't know what to do. I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with the video, I just really don't know what to do. I've had it for 9 days now, when it arrived its leaves were strong, but now they're all hanging down sadly. His last leaf is really weak and has places where it looks like it's been gnawed on. In addition, the place where a new leaf should come is turning brown, losing its colour and becoming soft. It gets enough sun, has a soil mixture of orchid soil, perlite and potting soil, so it is well-drained, and I have watered it only once. I really don't know what's wrong with it, maybe someone can help me :(
Oh no! I would take it out of the pot and examine the roots. If things are turning brown and mushy, you want to look for any signs of rot. If there is rot, cut off the brown parts and soak the roots in a hydrogen peroxide/water mix and then repot into fresh clean soil
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thank you so much! ❤️ I'll try it out
@@kitencee9977 Hey, how’s your plant doing? :)
@@RW_07 Not good. It died :( I really don't know what the problem was. No pests, perfect location, perfect soil mix, not too much or too little water, and the roots looked good too. I suspect it was sick. I got a different philodendron (melanochrysum) as a consolation. At least it's doing well ^^
You are so freaking funny mam'!
I’m glad you enjoy 🤓
I am still waiting for mine to go to the college. He is 5 years old..
Is leca good for hoyas? To me they seem to have more of a succulent nature with their thick leafs and like to be watered once a month. I dont know if the constant source of water is tolerable to them. Please update on their growth!
These are my first Hoyas so we shall see 😂. I’ll definitely share an update
I’m certainly no expert but from what I’ve gathered, they are succulent like, the soil should dry between waterings and the roots don’t like to sit in too much moisture. Less is more with Hoya watering, supposedly.
This is definitely true when they are in soil, but many have successfully grown Hoyas in LECA and since these were propagated in a moist substrate, im hopeful they’ll transition well 🤞
Wow gotta be Christmas
Ohh should the leca be washed until the whole outside layer comes off? If so, I had no idea😮. I bought leca, soaked it in water for a bit and then planted one of my cuttings in it but nothing came of it. And some of the balls developed a white coating in top. 😢
I wash until all the clay dust comes off and the water runs clear when I soak it. The white coating is likely just salt/mineral deposits and can be easily flushed off.
This all sounds so familiar.

I’m gonna need a link to that greenhouse cabinet 😳😳😳
Me toooooooo
It’s an IKEA Baggebo cabinet I converted. If you see the playlist on my channel, I documented everything. Here’s everything I used: www.amazon.com/shop/ohtheplacesyoullgrow/list/2TUL9UB53ZAYU?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Oh and here’s the link to one of the videos: czcams.com/users/shortsMNhLkwWwZ0E?feature=share
See links above!
Hahaha I wish I was your neighbor 😭😭
LOL I wish you were too. You’d probably not judge as hard as mine 😂
What’s the tool you used to make holes in your cups?
It's a soldering iron
@@zoltanv9987 the iron in her Amazon store is the best price that I have seen
Thank y’all!!!!!

Need somewhere that accepts coupons or have some type of reward system to sell lecca 😩
solsoils.com?sca_ref=3172733.oCeRoFRzJr has nice LECA and “MICHELLE10” will get you a discount
I literally can't with you... I LOVE propagating.... a little cut here, a cut there - will they grow up? Will they turn into something? 6 months later... yeah they turned into something alright! but it ain't pretty and they look like they're trying to run away.....
Hahaha it’s a satisfying process seeing things grow form just a cutting!
What is the tool you used to make melted holes in the pot?

Where did you got the leca
Hi! Here’s what I use to grow plants in LECA: www.amazon.com/shop/ohtheplacesyoullgrow/list/1M6CV2X2MOTER?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_aipsfohtheplacesyoullgrow_WQG8JK8SS7ZKNKAS4ZDW
The fertilizer can be used in soil and LECA so I use it for all of my plants :)
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thank youuu :)))
What fertilizer do you use for the LECA

What nutrients do you use ?
I use this across all plants in all mediums: bit.ly/4aYvTAT (screenshot if on mobile drive to make it clickable)
Where do you buy your leca from?
This specific batch is from IKEA, but all the LECA basics I use including an alternate brand is linked in my video’s description!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!
What nutrients do you use in the reservoir?

Mine were doing good nd then started leaking nd drying out.... they both are dead nd dry now
Oh noooooo I’m so sorry. I still unalive plants all the time and it’s all just trial and error and learning for next time.
Can you re-use the balls??
You can!
@ohtheplacesyoullgrow cool! Thank you! I'm learning so much from you, and I love your videos! I already have a collection of my own and can't wait to add with knowledge of care! I'm definitely doing the cute lollipop one with my 4yr old son!!
Ahh! Thanks for sharing this 🥰. My daughter asks all the time to grow more lollipops haha
You potted something in the daytime!? Who are you!?
The fact that you KNOW THESE THINGS ABOUT ME 😂
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow 😂😂😂😂

Will clog your drains. Not can. That fine silt is essentially like a wad of playdoh or something.
Hence the washing outside ✌️. It’s crazy how dirty they come.
Asian non aging genes man.. look like a late teen and have 2 kids in school 😭
I’m a vampire.
You don't happen to have ADHD, do you? 😅
No, but the entire internet says I do 🙈
Ah please don't speak this fast😢
