# I originally had a Alocasia Polly and transferred it over to LECA…

_Posted by Moonscar1 on 2024-09-21_

I originally had a Alocasia Polly and transferred it over to LECA after it had been struggling. I wanted to get rid of the massive bag of LECA and decided to go big or go home. That was a while ago and after losing multiple leaves while transitioning in water, this massive plant has done well since I actually put it into the semi hydro setup. I was checking today and I’m getting my first new leaf!
