Repot With Me: A Chatty Repot in to Leca (Houseplant Chores) 

Thanks! The roots on these were much larger than I was expecting. Hopefully that trend continues!

Thank you 🙌

Thank you!

😍 I’ve window shopped many times! Haha

That sounds like a dream job!

@@GreenChickGardens yeah it’s super chill! We get really creative with our stock.

This is a very good recommendation. I have done my best to seal the green house but it’s probably time to check again. My heat loss is quite significant and a go around with some sealant would probably pay dividends in the future. Thank you! 😊 good luck with your dream as well!!

I’ve watched her channel a bit, but I will do a bit of research through her channel. She must know something if she’s the queen! Thanks for watching!

I expect algae but I’ll just have to keep up with flushing and cleaning. Didn’t even think about mosquitos, I’ll have to get some mosquito bit for that. I think I’m going to use the system kevlaplanta uses as far as fertilizers go. I love his channel and he does really well with the plants he grows in leca! Thanks for the advice!!

I have not come up with a great method for giving climbing plants vertical support in leca. I use general hydroponics maxi grow and the flora series along with cal/mag.

What do you use for climbing support?

Thanks for the advice! I assume the moss is to retain more moisture? I understand there is no one substrate solution. This is just to reduce the amount of time it takes me to water so frequently.

@GreenChickGardens I've been experimenting with what I've seen in videos called the parfait method AKA leca on bottom,, perlite/ pon in the middle, and moss on top. I've been playing around with this combination for about a year now and I'm having great luck and I do find the moss on top is really helpful in holding in the humidity. I also find that the moss on top makes the whole set up just a little bit more aesthetically pleasing.

Are we talking like 1/3 of each?

@@GreenChickGardens it really depends on the plant but basically yes. I go heavier on the moss and perlite for plants with finer roots or starting cuttings and more of the clay Pebbles plants with beefier root systems. The moss on top helps with moisture and comes in really handy for keeping the clay balls from from falling out in bouncing all around the house while doing maintenance LOL

I do! But nothing on it at the moment. I’ll be getting things updated and I’ll provide links in my profile in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching!
