Can you grow Begonias in LECA (a.k.a. semi hydroponics, a.k.a. passive hydroponics)? Yes you can! In this video I will be sharing my experience growing Begonia maculata in LECA. I will also talk about and demonstrate Begonia maculata propagation in LECA, and I will experiment with using self watering pots with LECA.

@amorlarson6723 Год назад

Hi! Thank you for your video. What kind of nutrients did you use and where did you get your pots please?

@cat.b Год назад

the pots are from Amazon there is a link in the description. For the nutrients check my LECA for beginners video!

@jennyferhernandez7386 2 года назад

What nutrients should I add if I’m trying to propagate a cutting in leca if the mamma plant was in dirt?

@cat.b 2 года назад

I use only water. Once I see roots I gradually switch to nutrient solution. Please see my LECA guide for details on how to transition and make the solution. 🙂

@a.girl.has.many.plants3743 2 года назад

Question: i’m waiting for a Begonia Sophia in a 3” pot to arrive and wanted to transfer her into leca. Would she go into a 3” pot or a bigger pot for the leca transfer?

@cat.b 2 года назад

it really depends on the root system. your will have to wait to see the naked roots to decide.

@evicaf4e 2 года назад

Can you reuse an old lecca? Also how you fertilize it? Do you put fertilized water in to the bottom of the pot?

@cat.b 2 года назад

all the answers are in my other videos😁

@missusq21 2 года назад

Hi there. Can i grow my begonia maculata in pumice? I did it anyway but after 2 days its limpy n leaves turn soft. What shld i do?

@cat.b 2 года назад

I have never tried but when I start a cutting or transfer a plant to a different media and it’s struggling, O always put it inside a closed clear container. the very high humidity helps. once it’s rooted or well established I open the container gradually over a few days to acclimate the plant to normal room humidity.

@barbarajustice9499 Год назад

Where do you buy sec watering pots and wicks ?

@cat.b Год назад

I got everything from Amazon

@wrighthouse2024 3 года назад

Also what kind of closed containers do you use

@cat.b 3 года назад

A clear plastic tote or a clear plastic bag. Big glass cookie jar, a vase upside down... anything clear basically .

@ckmk93_ 2 года назад

I enjoy you.

@samanthakarlainarhoads4091 Год назад

You can also propagate the begonia leaves that you snapped off!

@cat.b Год назад

Yes I could've.

@NalleAlvaRey Год назад

Hello, please help me, my begonia is dying, I only have a small twig left, :'(

@cat.b Год назад

Use what is left to start a new plant. Plant it in LECA and then put the whole thing inside a clear container to give it 100% humidity until it's completely rooted and starts to produce more leaves. Then open the container VERY gradually over a couple weeks to acclimate the plant back to ambiant air (lower humidity).

@lise6107 3 года назад

Great video. Where did you purchase the pots.

@cat.b 3 года назад

Amazon! I have put links in the video description :)

@nathalysofly34 2 года назад

My plants are not doing so well since I moved them to Leca. Idk what to do. What should I feed it?

@cat.b 2 года назад

How long ago did you transfer them? Did you wash the roots completely? Did you follow the instructions in my tutorial video? What is "not doing so well" exactly?

@nathalysofly34 2 года назад

@@cat.b I missed the part about the nutritions but I just ordered some. But the leafs are wilting and yellow. And yes

@cat.b 2 года назад

How long ago did you transfer?

@nathalysofly34 2 года назад

@@cat.b about a week ago and it’s down to about 4leafs but it shot out some nice I move it to self water pot today and looked at the roots looks better then when I put her in .. but just the leaves are gone, I hoping with the nutrients to get some back

@cat.b 2 года назад

I think it will be fine. Putting it in a closed container could help. A clear tote or clear plastic bag. When ready to go back to room air, open the container gradually over a week.
