      Thank you! She’s one of my favorites. I originally had her in LECA, and she did fine, but I recently swapped her over to Pon and she just keeps pushing out new growth. I think the Pon holds even more water maybe, and she appreciates the extra moisture.

      Yes! And I’ve heard that it’s even better for plants that have fine roots. Additionally, the zeolite filters out more toxins which is great for such a fancy girl. I haven’t been able to find pon available yet but would love to try it.

    I am so impressed that you are able to keep a peperomia alive in Leca! Their roots are so tiny and fragile! I killed one trying to transition to Pon. Leca would be even harder! Did you grow it first in water prop in order to do that?

      Nope, I just rinsed all the dirt off of her roots and plopped her straight into LECA, lol. She does really well with a 50% reservoir. I do think it’s easier when they’re small, she started out as a little 2” pot, and only one main stem when I got her.

      Ahh yes. The baby method. So much easier to transition. 90% of mine are baby transitioned too. 👍🏻
