After doing this for a year, I STILL can get stumped by my plants. When to take a plant's "quietness" seriously, and when to just allow the plant to keep going....plus, more tips and tricks for the first couple of months in LECA.

🥣HOW I PREPARE MY LECA: I just rinse with cool water in a colander or bucket with holes
💦FIRST MONTH: Water only the leca…do not allow any water to sit in reservoir, once a week or when plant shows signs of dryness (NO NUTRIENTS)
AFTER a month to 6 weeks (when plants begin showing signs of expedient growth) NUTRIENT WATER: Add 1 teaspoon Dyna_Gro Foliage Pro to 1 gallon RO or fresh drinkable water.
*EVERY 3-6 MONTHS (I average once every six months for this): FLUSH THE LECA… • #leaching #houseplants...
