All the LECA stuff: kit.co/Hallease/semi-hydropon...
Hey everyone! In this video, I'm going to show you the basics of how to put your plants into semi-hydroponics or semi-hydro using a Monstera I've been propagating for a few months. I'll show you all the tools you'll need to use LECA including the planter, LECA balls I use, and also how to pH balance your nutrient water.
I'm very new to semi-hydroponics I first learned about it while trying to minimize gnats in my apartment (thank you plant-tube!) and quickly became obsessed. I currently have a Philodendron in LECA and a Hoya Crimson Crown in LECA as well. They're both doing REALLY well! I eventually want to switch over all of my houseplants to LECA. #semihydroponics #LECA #plantwithme
I literally have been saying Monstera wrong my whole life and didn't realize it until this video...who am I?!

@k.4243 4 года назад

As somebody who has a career in hydroponics i would like to say i highly reccommend nursery pots, especially if your roots are relatively small compared to the foliage, it really helps with aeration and support for the plant, its also alot easier to get the plant in and out of the hydroton (leca) i would also reccommend black, or very opaque containers if you decide to put the plant in intense sunlight, and especially grow lights to prevent fungus and algae growth! Also, very very important not to slack on the upkeep of water changes, since salinity can build up in the water very quickly in hydroponics and kill your plant babies!! I hope this helps all of you :)

Hallease, I just wanna say how much I love the fact that you reuse old containers as pots. I went out and bought a diamond bit with my dad (which was a fun experience because we rarely hangout so it was fun to bond with him lol) so he could show me how to drill holes in glass. In conclusion, your video brought my dad and I closer and inspired me to be more conscious of the waste I produce & the potential money I can save lol Thx for the good vibes ❤️

Once I was at a plant store looking for ‘soil’ to buy. And I asked the employee, “hi, do you sell dirt here?”. He looked at me up and down and said “no, we sell *soil* here. If you want dirt, go get it at the park” and then proceed to say that dirt has a dirty connotation and whatever his case was. Now, every time I hear someone say ‘dirt’ I get pulled back into that memory and feel the embarrassment all over again

Hello. I just finished switching all my 35 plants to leca. you made me do it :D I can never thank you enough! I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed removing the soil from my plants, for the last time EVER :D As my way of saying thanks, I want to share with you one very useful tip that I discovered in the process. I found out, that the best way to "reposition" the plant, if you plated it wrong and need to re-do the whole thing, is to just submerge about 90% of the nursery pot in a container with water. (Or you can fill the container you are using, if it's not a nursery pot, that works too). The leca will start flowing in the water and you can just move the plant in it with no problem. Turn it, straighten it, push it lower or even pull it up without the risk of damaging the roots. Then you just lift it up, let the water pour out and ta-dah! You're welcome :)

@danielmorales2102 4 года назад

You said “I’m a virgo” I instantly thought of Jenna. She’s inspired my love of plants. I’m considering trying this with my fish tank. Ive been researching hydroponics and it seems like my fish and plants would benefit from each other. Plants filter the water and the fish produce waste to fertilize the plants.

@k.4243 4 года назад

This is one of the most common types of hydroponics media, typically known as hydroton in the agriculture community, but i guess its more commonly called leca in the house plant community?

@kathysharfe7088 3 года назад

principle OmNomms it looks like Hydroton is the most popular brand name/the ‘original’ expanded clay balls, LECA (lightweight expanded clay aggregate) is the name for the product itself. kind of like kleenex vs. tissues! :-)

@rongonzo5358 4 года назад

Hi there...love your video. I do the same thing with my orchids, they are all in semi-hydro and a few in full water culture. Just an fyi...when watering your plants, it's OK to have the pH closer to the 5 range. Leca will raise the PH by a few, not a whole point, but it will raise it. So just a helpful hint that I've learned from my journey. Please keep up the great work. Thanks!!
