Hello! I’m relatively new to plants, I started about a year ago now. I have a pothos I’d like to switch over to Leca. Does anyone have any tips on how to get started with leca or some dos/donts with it? Or should I avoid it altogether as a sort of beginner?

Thank you!!

I have Leca in my chunky mix. I’ve never taken the step to Leca only or Leca with pons.

Checkout YouTube videos. Search for “soil to Leca,” “Leca for Beginners,” and “Leca Mistakes.”

Never thought about leca in a chunky mix. Do you prep the leca, or just toss in when mixing your soil?
