  • Can you grow Begonias in LECA (a.k.a. semi hydroponics, a.k.a. passive hydroponics)? Yes you can! In this video I will be sharing my experience growing Begonia maculata in LECA. I will also talk about and demonstrate Begonia maculata propagation in LECA, and I will experiment with using self watering pots with LECA.

    What nutrients should I add if I’m trying to propagate a cutting in leca if the mamma plant was in dirt?

    • @cat.b
      @cat.b  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I use only water. Once I see roots I gradually switch to nutrient solution. Please see my LECA guide for details on how to transition and make the solution. 🙂

    Question: i’m waiting for a Begonia Sophia in a 3” pot to arrive and wanted to transfer her into leca. Would she go into a 3” pot or a bigger pot for the leca transfer?

    • @cat.b
      @cat.b  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      it really depends on the root system. your will have to wait to see the naked roots to decide.

    • @cat.b
      @cat.b  ปีที่แล้ว

      Use what is left to start a new plant. Plant it in LECA and then put the whole thing inside a clear container to give it 100% humidity until it's completely rooted and starts to produce more leaves. Then open the container VERY gradually over a couple weeks to acclimate the plant back to ambiant air (lower humidity).

    Hi there. Can i grow my begonia maculata in pumice? I did it anyway but after 2 days its limpy n leaves turn soft. What shld i do?

    • @cat.b
      @cat.b  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have never tried but when I start a cutting or transfer a plant to a different media and it’s struggling, O always put it inside a closed clear container. the very high humidity helps. once it’s rooted or well established I open the container gradually over a few days to acclimate the plant to normal room humidity.

      I think it will be fine. Putting it in a closed container could help. A clear tote or clear plastic bag. When ready to go back to room air, open the container gradually over a week.
