So, I got this. Could I grow it hydroponically?

I believe so! I recently transferred some baby caladiums from dirt to LECA, and they are doing well and pushing out new leaves. It’s the first time I’ve tried these though, so I have no idea if they will still go dormant at some point if grown indoors, like they do when grown outside?

Just make sure to add nutrients because lecca is nutrient deficient

Absolutely! I use Dynagro Foliage Pro liquid nutrients on all my LECA plants, with a little Hydroguard thrown in for good measure.

I’m not sure on the standard of which a plant can be hydroponically grown but in theory with the correct conditions and proper nutrients you could grow it in this way

Yup! My frog in a blender caladium have been growing in leca and water all summer ☺️ (yeah, a bit of an unfortunate name lol). I’m not sure how much it matters because I haven’t tested it, but I prefer to keep the crown of the bulb out of the leca
