I’m about to transfer my 6 month old neon pothos to LECA. Any advice?

I’m guessing you’re struggling with fungus gnats (the mountain of D earth in your pot 😂) The amount of growth you got is very small for 6 months. The reason I say that is low light=low growth. low growth=low water consumption. low water consumption=soggy soil and soggy soil=fungus gnats. You will solve your fungus gnat issue with LECA, but you might just need to find a brighter spot for the plant. Wash the roots completely clean of all soil. Do not add a water reservoir at first, water it and let it drain for the first week or two before you start trying to use a water reservoir at the bottom. When you do add the reservoir, wait two or three weeks, dump out the LECA and remove any dead or rotting roots, repot with the same Leca and you should be good. Water roots and soil roots are different so the soil ones will rot while the new water roots grow in

I just repotted this morning. I was able to resolve the fungus gnat issue some time ago, but the D earth ruined my soil, so a repot was needed. I haven’t added the water reservoir yet. I’ll look for a brighter spot to keep my plant. Thank you for the tips!
