Hi Nora, I have put the blue star into leca however its OK but some leaves dry at the tips. Another up date about a month ago I put palms into leca, first was an parlor palm that did ok. So I went larger Areca palm thats loves it, it got new frones. So I went for the king of palms the larger Kentia palm thats been in leca for this the 3rd week. I was in two mind as this palm made me nervous I didnt want to kill it. I will not do a pony tail elephant foot as its has a woody sterm. Now 3 week plus all 3 palm are just doing what they do and are all healthier then in soil. I also done some Carnivorous Nepenthes plants, they are all thriving so very well, so I'm happy to report this just so you are now up to date. Good videos so appreciate thankyou layla
Very excited to see how the experiment goes! I'm currently trying the long method with my cebu blue and philodendron micans and neither of them are very happy with me about it lol
Hey girl, love your videos♥️. I’m in the process of transitioning my soil plants into leca and I’m loving the experience❣️ How about Adenium? I have two babies and I want to try them, but I’m nervous because we life in zone 3, so Adenium have to grow indoors in winter. Any thoughts you’d care To share? M. From NB, 🇨🇦
Hello watching your fern transitioning; I have 3 they are divas and I’m not having two Divas in the same home😏Please share , mine are asparagus, maiden hair, kangaroo, also I believe a button;) Lastly Allow me to complement you on the nail, and lip stick in the Anthurium video. Simply Beautiful truely🥰💕
Thank you for your kind words and for watching and subscribing, much appreciated! Rita, your lovely comment about my nails and lippy has me floating on cloud 9!!! Thank you! I do love a good lippy! I tell my 2 daughters that they will always need some lippy! Nothing like a good lipstick to pep me up!
Hi Nora, Where do you get your clear pots? I have been looking for some and they only ones I've found are the orchid pots (which are also expensive). I have an iron rod to make the holes but have not found any 14 or 20 inch clear pots. Thank you for your amazing content and information.
Hello Jaimee Rose. I get my pots from our local store in Australia called Bunnings. Amazon have some. Good luck finding them. Check out some options below: CLEAR SEMI HYDRO POTS amzn.to/3jnLRvN (USA) amzn.to/3jrgXCM (USA) amzn.to/3JuT9rW (USA) amzn.to/3xiDuK3 (AUSTRALIA) amzn.to/3rg44zy (AUSTRALIA) amzn.to/3O0aywm (AUSTRALIA)
so, if roots aren't in contact with the solution, why is that important, especially for ferns which love water? I get you want to avoid root rot, but isn't it a risk it would dry out instead of growing??
Not a risk at all because the leca has moisture, enough for the plant. As long as the reservoir has nutrient solution the leca will not dry out because it wicks the solution from the bottom to the top by capillary action.

Thank you for the updates Layla. I can certainly see how the fern would be crispy at the edges. A bit more humidity needed perhaps?
Beautiful plants.
I moved a crocodile and a Boston to leca and they've done so much better than they ever did in soil. They really love the conditions.
That is fabulous to hear!
Cant wait to see the results!
You and me both!
Thank you Nora for a great video, excited to see the results!!
Natalie Shigrov Thank you! I will keep you posted.
Looking forward to the outcome.
Me too.

Very interesting.. when is the update video???
Maybe next week 😊

Not a risk at all because the leca has moisture, enough for the plant. As long as the reservoir has nutrient solution the leca will not dry out because it wicks the solution from the bottom to the top by capillary action.
so hard to tell what is soil? dark roots? etc
Indeed, touch is the only way to tell sometimes
