I’m debating placing my first ever Hoya into LECA. Anyone else done so? Any tips?

Just moved my plant to leca for the first time! Hoping it does well and I can move the rest of my plants to leca!

Oxalis Triangularis in LECA, wicking net pot/cache pot setup, Dyna Gro Foliage Pro nutrients. Love this girl! I recently moved her under a brighter grow light, and she’s really showing out now!

All my props!💚

This little one wasn’t doing well in soil, when I checked the roots, they were not in good shape. I cleaned them up as much as I dared and moved it into water… hope it will be okay! 😬 I had no idea Thai constellations were so much more finicky and fragile than albos… one has already broke my heart, let’s hope this isn’t a repeat performance! 🤞

Just lucked out and found this beauty at my local grocery store for $15! Here’s my dilemma, should I transfer straight to LECA, or leave her alone for now? I’ve successfully transferred my other Alocasia (Nebula and Maharani), but lost most of the original leaves in the process, which I wouldn’t normally mind…but man I hate to lose this variegated beauty, especially not knowing if I’ll get another…. On the other hand, I don’t have any soil plants indoors, and with this coming from a big chain store, there’s no telling what might be going on under the surface (pests, rot, etc.). What would you do?

Here's my set up right now :) super happy so far, hoping to see some new leaves in my monstera. what is everyone's watering schedule? I use rain water and the plants seem to love it!

Going to transfer my Black Magic Colocasia to LECA after discovering that heifer wants to apparently live in water (maybe this weekend- going to start soaking those bad boys tonight) and preparing for a Alocasia Zebrina Reticulata that’s en route to me. Very excited- and nervous. 😂 I’m getting a pH testing kit along with pH up/down just in case, and looking for hydroponic fertilizer recommendations. ☺️ I also tend to do the most (as in it’s my MO #sorrynotsorry) so any and all tips/tricks/experiences in full detail with bullet points (jk but I would totally do that 🫠😂) are needed and welcome.

I’m going to be using this setup for my plants in LECA. What styles/brands do you guys like to use for your semi-hydroponics?

I transitioned one of my older calatheas into Pon yesterday. Was super stressed out trying to get all the compacted Coco coir off the roots. I couldn’t get it off the top part at all without destroying all the roots, so I just ended up leaving about 1/4 of its top compacted ball, and putting the rest in Pon around it. Really hoping it doesn’t rot! I’ve heard differing reports on how important it is to remove all substrate. But in this particular case (and i’ve transitioned dozens) i couldn’t do it without killing it. She seems to have unfurled her stress curl leaves since yesterday… so crossing fingers! 🤞🏻

I’m rlly on a roll with all of my posts today lol but here goes another A few months ago I posted my philodendron birkin (that I grow in water) that had produced a pup! Here’s the separated pup now. AND here’s the really exciting part and a huge reason why I love growing in water: I see two new pups growing!! It’s so nice to be able to watch the pups grow. Aaa! They’re soo smol 🥹🫶
