Beautiful! I’m nervous to try Leca for some reason. Any certain brand you like or knowledge you can drop? I’ve heard of people soaking it or boiling it before using. Looks like it’s working great for you.

I LOVE leca. I have some plants that are all leca and then some plants where I mix leca in with the soil. Leca is clay so it will hold water and then release it as the soil dries out. They can help soak up extra water from the soil if you get a little heavy handed with the watering can. Leca is more sustainable than soil so I have heard lots of plants people changing out their entire collection for leca. You don't get pests. They don't "go bad" like soil eventually does. You can wash and reuse them. You don't have to worry about contamination like you do potting soil. I bought a giant bag from Amazon but my local garden center has them too.
