Hey! Question - do you have to use LECA when growing plants hydroponically? I want to grow pothos, peace lilies, spider plants, etc in glass containers and decorate with colorful glass pebbles. Adding the LECA would not add to the aesthetic I'm trying to create, so I wanted to know if the LECA is absolutely necessary. Thank you so much! Your videos are awesome and super helpful.
So do the vines that you cut stop growing once you cut them or does the vine continue from a node? I am assuming the single leaves start to grow as a vine as well but mine has been planted for about 5 months now and they are not getting anywhere. Still alive so I’m assuming it’s just rooting
I had a very dehydrated star aloe from the hardware store. It didn't plump up in soil, no matter what I did. I put it in leca. It's plump and it has amazing new roots growing out of the bottom of the pot!
I have a pothos that has been growing in the same leca beads and pot for "seriously" over 40 years!!! I got it those many years ago when leca - hydroponic home parties were a new thing.
it would get expensive if you have to replace the jute matt each time you need to grow a fresh batch of microgreens. I do love the idea of growing them thou.
