I transferred this Alocasia to leca around 6 weeks ago. The first leaf it grew is nearly twice the size of the largest leaf it had before. I think it likes it...1yr ⋅ aweirdchicken ⋅ r/SemiHydro
Alocasia Longiloba, Philodendron Billietiae and Anthurium Clarinervium are still in soil, but I really want to convert to leca. The shop I bought the Clarinervium from suggested against leca but I wanted some more opinions, thanks in advance for any advice!1yr ⋅ Justin_Fox ⋅ r/SemiHydro

It took a lot of practice, but I’m finally able to make (on the potters wheel) ceramic cache pots in the right shape to fit the net pots my local hydroponics store stocks. And I put holes in some so they can hang. I’ve just made 3in ones so far but I’m working up to 4in and 5in too.2yr ⋅ torisatori ⋅ r/SemiHydro

I learned about semi-hydro at 11pm, realized I happened to have a bag of leca, an unused decorative pot, a nursery pot that fits perfectly, AND a begonia maculata cutting that's been rooting happily in water for 2 months.
