I bought this Colocasia Coffee Cups (I think 😝) with my partner on a recent trip. I want to switch it over to a leca semi-hydro system.

I think it’s currently potted in soil or peat??? Roots show sign of mold on top and a few aerial roots look black. I was so happy to see that the roots in the pot were still healthy after 3 weeks in my care.

Any tips on keeping this guy alive and if I should switch to semi-hydro as a newbie. Thank you 🌱

Do it! They love Pon or Leca. Trim off any rot first.
