so i want to transfer my alocasia over to leca as i’ve been having trouble keeping her happy. i want to get this pot because it has the option to hang. i’m looking for input on the self watering feature though, should i pot in leca in the white insert and keep water level below the pot? or should i scrap that and just use the clear plastic? or is it a bad idea all together to use plastic😅i’m new to alocasias this is my first one and i’ve been able to keep her alive but she isn’t thriving. soo i guess should i get this pot or just use a glass vase?

    honestly doesn’t seem like a bad idea considering you can see through it, but on the other hand plants can get stressed when roots are exposed to sunlight (phototropism).

    but it’s opaque on the inside so this looks fine
