My first foray into leca was a fail. I lost three props I had in water when I transferred them to leca. Does anyone have any experience with propping Pothos in leca? Did I use too much water? All the props had more than 3 inches of roots.

I’m sorry for your losses! The transition is hard.

When I put my props in leca, I usually put them in a no drainage glass jar with leca and water and I just make sure I change the water every 2weeks ish and I’ve had great success. I brought back a monstera from terrible root rot using this method
