✅ About The Leca Queen :
Nora here! Welcome to The Leca Queen channel.
I love all things indoor PLANTS. I enjoy growing my plants in SOILESS media; yep, no soil! I primarily use LECA (clay balls) to grow my plants using hydroponics (semi-hydroponics).
I show you how my beautiful plants grow in LECA and help you achieve the RESULTS that I have. I cover a TON of leca growing tips, a very comprehensive leca 101 where I hold your hand and help you navigate the world of semi-hydroponics.
I love to experiment and discover different ways of taking care of plants. There is no right or wrong way, just the way that works for you and your plants. Join me on my many plant adventures.

Hello Nora! I’d love to see you do a collaboration with Caitlyn Louise of Plant Life In The Tropics. She’s a huge fan of Leca too. This was a great Q &A video. Btw- I was truly surprised when you came on Lee’s video. Loved it. Won’t give the ending away which I thought was hilarious. Anyway keep these videos coming. 💚🌿
Thank you Alfreda. I checked Caitlyn out and she is awesome. So glad you liked the cameo.
I saw big bags of leca and coco fibre mixed at a hydroponics store the other day. It did intrigue me and made me think it's probably great for plants whose roots are too fine for just leca.
That sounds interesting 🤔 👀 definitely worth a try
I use that mix to add to my Syngonium plants, ferns and begonias and lately to my watermelon pep with an addition of perlite! Its great stuff as an additive to other substrates!
You are so right about the general clientele of hydro shops 🤣. I felt weird going for my houseplants haha.
I know right 🤣🤣🤣. Lots of interesting dudes in those shops. They are very knowledgeable and very helpful both staff and hydro dudes.😊
😂😂 My first experience was, the big ‘dude’ didn’t have a clue what i was looking for, and I didn’t have a clue what he was talking about! 🪴🪴🤷🏻♀️😂😂
I have a string of pearls, bananas, watermelons and dolphins all in LECA. I just placed them on top and wrapped the extras around the top of the pot to make them fuller. I use a cacti liquid fertilizer at a low strength. They grew aerial roots that eventually found their way down in the LECA. I have watered them this winter about once every 3 to 4 weeks (the air is dry from the season and the heat being on). I also have other succulents and cacti growing this way. These are the only plants I have not used your long method on and was quite surprised how well they are doing. I was so scared to transfer my succulents but now I am glad I did. Try a single strand, on top, and see how it goes. I rinsed the LECA very well, soaked it for over 24 hrs in water then over 24 hrs in the diluted cacti fertilizer. I also soaked them in a mix of Dr. Bronner's peppermint and tea tree soap for an hour or so beforehand since they were coming from outside to inside. Love your Q&A sessions! ❤️
Loved the cameo in Lee's video!!! I just found his channel recently so I was super surprised when you popped up. I'd love to see more!
I haven't watched the tree fibre video yet but I'm wondering if it would be a little more resistant to algae. I made one pole with the tree fibre to test it out. I love it and hate it lol it's easier to dampen because the water doesn't roll off like it does with dry moss BUT when it's dry it falls out of the poll so easily and makes a mess everywhere. My plant seems to like it but I think it would do the same in moss. One thing I guess worth mentioning is the fibre is a bit more aesthetically pleasing than moss.
Thank you, the cameo was fun to do. Interesting to hear about tree fern fibre in a pole. I would love to try it. I guess not having a mess is great incentive to keep it moist. I wonder if there is a way to keep it in the pole?? I have my thinking cap on!
Thank you so much.! You were right! There is a hydroponic supply store 10 miles from me. I would have never ever thought of this. ❤
Yay!!! Spread the word!
Honestly I really like the look of algae growing on the pole. It gives it a "living" look to the moss. When I make my first moss pole I might stick some live moss to it as well! Make it look like a mossy tree log covered in green! 💚
I know what you mean! The algae looks good, it also means your pole is moist. 😁
So far calatheas and hoyas are specues which gave me hard time in soil, its been a month i transferred them into lecca, and they have put up new shoots , so far so good !
Thank you sooo much for the mention! Tree Fern Fibre is truely propagation gold! The Orchid Den in Queensland apparently stocks it, maybe send them a message and they may be able to help you out!
Thanks for the info! I certainly will.
Thanks for answering my question - great answer.
You are very welcome.
Just love Garden world Collectors corner and the hydro shop there. If I see you there one day I'll say HELLO. Another great video, thank you
Thank you Margi. I would love to meet you at CC. When you see me say hello and we can have a nice chin wag. 🙂
My kill this plant question was partially a joke. Haha. I loved you on that cameo. I watch and respect both of you, and for you to show up was a surprise! Hhahaha. I would love to see you collaborate with sydney plant guy and paz plant life, all the aussie moss polers. Show us Americans who's boss at moss. Haha.
It was a great question. I really liked it. An Aussie moss pole collaboration would be epic indeed.
Thanks for answer my question. Cheers!!
You are very welcome Jenni. 😊
Yes collaborate; I saw the video love him too.
Any suggestions of possible collaborators?
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all your super informative answers!
You are so welcome!
Btw I never mentioned that I greatly appreciate your subtitles! I often prefer using subtitles if lots of people are around me, or if I don’t have earbuds, headphones, etc. sometimes the auto generated CC is useful for other videos or documentaries, but it’s often incorrect!
You have no idea how this fills my heart! The advice is to not bother with subtitles. I love them because I watch everything with subtitles on. I also found out very early on that the auto captions are terrible, especially when the subject of my channel is leca and TH-cam calls it liquor! 🤣
👌💖🌱
Thank you 😊
I've noticed that leca comes in many size balls. Does it matter how large or small of leca for the plant?
I've just started the long method transition for my Calathea Makoyana and so and really curious to see how it goes. Also my Orbifolia will be getting the long method soon too. Nora, do you think it's OK to transition plants now since we're moving into autumn now. Have you done it with not too much collateral damage?
I do not worry about seasons, I just do what I need to do when I wanna do it. We grow indoors so plants are still growing, slower but still growing.
@@TheLecaQueen Thanks Nora, just as I thought 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Will be transitioning my new Fasciata too but into a smaller pot cos it’s a tiny plant still. Here’s prayin it pulls through it and becomes big like yours 🙏🏻😊
Do you have a video for, I believe what you called The Long method of taking a plant from soil to leca?
Yes I have, find it here: th-cam.com/video/sNYrPB2GSgI/w-d-xo.html
@@TheLecaQueen Thank you so much Leca Queen. I love watching your videos and learning.
I would REALLY love you to do a collab with Pete (petevsplants) I love watching both of your channels and to watch you both in the same vid would be cool bananas 👍🏼
You are in for a surprise Connie!! Pete and I recorded the podcast and I am editing it as we speak! Hold on to your delicates as it is going to be a fun ride!😂😂
@@TheLecaQueen SHUT uPP! No way....that's insane. Were your ears burning or something?!?! 😂 Really hangin' out to see it you guys! You're gonna smash it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@ConnieP92 we smashed it alright!! Pete is such a hoot!! He is my new bestie!
@@TheLecaQueen He's a hoot alright AND and all round nice bloke. Can't wait to watch it! 👍🏼
