What’s the benefit of using leca?

#### MariposaJay antwortete am 2023-07-07

When I first purchased leca I was winging it. I had a alocasia in soil which wasn’t doing so good so transferred it into leca and it started to do amazing. If you have a problem with overwatering or just want your plants to be a little more self sufficient I recommend leca! So these are some of the benefits I love while using leca  
\- you can see the progress of roots  
\- the roots are able to absorb the water from the leca lowering the risk of root root marking your plant more self sufficient  
\- you can reuse the leca after properly sterilizing it  
Do keep in mind only certain plants can survive \& make progress in leca so far I’ve used leca for my monsteras, pothos, \& Alocasia

Where do you buy your leca? I bought some locally but it was like 1 cup for $5🫠
