Loooove the chart! 😍😍 what are they planted in, a tray of leca?

Thanks! They're in LECA. Water from a goldfish tank is pumped through it for 15 mins ever hour. I used to grow bundles of herbs this way but I keep losing the herbs I try and start to pests. So I guess I'm just growing pothos!

What a genius way to grow them! Guess pothos love the goldfish water more than the herbs!
