# Hello! I am looking to transfer my monstera from water to leca, or…

_Posted by AubreyF on 2024-04-05_

Hello! I am looking to transfer my monstera from water to leca, or another semi hydroponic medium, it has a well developed root system, any suggestions?

Additionally I have a very small monstera cutting I rescued from a plant killed by the cold earlier this year with one healthy root. Any suggestions for reviving this one in semi hydroponics?

Thanks!

In my experience, plants that are already well adapted to soil tend to not do well transferring to LECA. You could do it anyway, but prepare for your plant to look bad for a while.

The cutting may be a better candidate for LECA. I would keep it in a lightly fertilized water solution and transfer it to LECA once the roots look healthy
