Nice
Please answer just this one question. What rooting hormone do you use.
@@rodolfodungao4168 I don’t use rooting hormone
DO NOT RINSE YOUR LECA DUST DOWN THE SINK OR TUB DRAIN. The clay builds up in your plumbing and can cause massive, very expensive problems. 😩😩😩
I am warning people against this as well, but it is a lot of possible work for my husband (plumber) lol
Thank you.
I cringed when I saw him /her pour all the muddy clay down the drain😒
People please do your research
Thank you!!! My landlord will thank you aswell lol
Thanks for the valuable reminder.
Thanks for sharing with us!! Interesting!! I tried already that to my photos plants ❤️
Thank you for sharing such valuable information. The simple and easy way. We need such things in our busy schedules Nice video too.
Thank you so much for sharing an idea to use a leca balls on houseplant and succulents, i will try this tips that your share on my plants and succulent, God bless!!
fabulous video! thank you so much!
Thanks for such great info, I always wondered what they are and how to use. Suggestion: I found it challenging to read your info boxes - too small, maybe increase size for future vids.
Yes. Agree. Great video but so tough to read the script.
I couldn’t see the writing at all even with my glasses on
The suggestion is very hard to read
I agree :). And the font being in Italic doesn’t help either.
Totally unreadable 😢
谢谢！！！so great and useful. Love from Germany.
Your plants LOVE you. ❤️
Very cool video! Thanks for sharing :) I will re-plant
Can I recommend that you soak your clay pebbles in water for 5 to 7 days. Fill your bucket with water and then alter the PH to suit the plants you intend to grow in the pebbles . This way, your nutrient solution will maintain a better PH level.
I agree with your recommendation, however it will consume a lot of my time. I want to grow plants in an easy way, and I think I am doing well as evidence of my plants.
Thanks for sharing this videos
So best idea 👍👍
Hi I just subscribed to your channel, and I am being used leca to.
OMG! Can't wait to get started!!! Watching your video gave me shivers up and down my spine--plus the beautiful music in the background, is as lovely as the garden you grow--totally beautiful. No more dirt for me, and by the way, would you share the music info?
I’m sorry I forgot the title already. But I got all my music here - www.epidemicsound.com/referral/0f03kg/
If you do this do not dump the dirty leca water down your drains!
Hydroton also good for hydroponic system
Thanks
Hi! Do you know if you can use Alaska fish plant food as fertilizer here?
Do you have Lithops in Leca there?? If so - please share how you converted it and your care tips!!
I want to start using these clay pebbles now, You told me where to get them how about the fertilizer you showed. ? I am very interested, Thanks for the great videos! Darlene
I use pots with drainage holes at the bottom and place the pots on trays. Can I use the bottom watering system?
How do you do the flush day?and what water do i use?
Did you encounter a problem with gnats, from the LECA? I've read multiple reviews which stated gnats thrive in LECA. Thanks in advance.
السلام عليكم اشلونك حبيبي الغالي شخبارك عمل ولا اروع
Thank you for sharing and I'm going to try with the l e c a with my plans and see thank you have a blessed day
Здравствуйте! Скажите пожалуйста какие удобрения вы добавляете в воду ?
Can I grow hybrid tea roses in leca?
Would you recommend using leca to start the growing process and maybe switch to soil?
Hi can I use this Leca for my money tree instead of soil?
Helpful video! Can you use perlite(not only for rooting) as leca? I mean can you leave a plant in perlite for ever as we do with leca?
Hi, I never tried that yet. But in propagation I did.
This is soooo helpful! How often do you water with the fertilizing solution? Or do you water with it every time?
I water it regularly with this hydroponic solution.
@@thegreenearth Are you using the fertilizing solution each time you water your plants or is it maybe once or twice a month?
Am a new subs ❤️ found your channel so informative and helpful for growing plants.. am so new to grow plants... can I try the Leca method?
Hi Minnie, thank you and welcome! yes you can try growing your plants in leca.
I just found your lovely videos. I grow my plants in leca too but I haven’t tried glass pots yet. How do you know where to drill the hole?
Hi, just drill 3-4 inches level from the bottom of the vase
Do not pour the rinse water down your drain
What is the difference between this, clay pebbles and pearlite.
Добрый день, а что вы добавляли в канистру?, и уменя вопрос как вы боритесь с клещем на ком.растениях.
Это просто вода.
Can sumbody do a video on what plants do good in leca & which ones don’t
شكرا على هذه المعلومات القيمة كيف يمكن معرفة موعد الري من فضلك وكم مرة نقوم بتجديد الماء شكرا
يمكنك فقط إعادة ملء القدر بالماء المغذي عندما يفرغ أو يوشك على النفاد. لأن هذه المياه ستتبخر بعد فترة أو تستخدمها النباتات.
Where do I get these flora micro, flora gro and flora bloom ?……..?….
Thank you for this video. Can I use fish emulsion?
yes you can use that too
I want to hang them on up side of fish tank . Should it melts ....😊😊
I'm switching as soon as possible
Hi I'm your new sub and actually you introduced me to leca. One question I have is can we use it in glass jar without drilling the glass. And to just watering it with small amount of water but maybe more frequently, to maintan the water level.
yes you can use glass jar without hole too. the actual purpose of the hole is for flushing and cleaning also for maintaining the water level
@@thegreenearth thank you for your fast reply. I will give it a try and will try to find a way to clean the leca without the holes😁.
Is it good to use the electric drill under water? I must try it!
From where a purchase lica
Hello from Japan🇯🇵
Do I have to put a hole in a glass jar?
Is it possible to grow it without putting those hole?
Thank you
Yes, you can grow even without putting holes. Just make sure not to over water.
Hi! I have a question... How often should I fertilize the plants in leca? Thanks for this very interesting video!
Hi, I’m using hydroponic nutrients or fertilizer regularly. Every time I water my plants, I’m adding mild fertilizer to the water.
Thanks for your answer!! I'm going to try it in these days.
What are the names of the fertiliser you use for your leca plants. Thanks.
I am using Flora Series - amzn.to/3mv7v3X
can i use seaweed liquid fertilizer instead of hydroponic solution🙂! ...
I haven’t tried seaweed fertilizer yet, so I don’t know if you can use it in replacement for hydroponic nutrients.
one thing I am confused with...what is the use of drilling that hole in glass vase...
it will limit you from over watering the plants also can be use for flushing whenever you want to wash you leca balls because of the crystal salts build up from the fertilizer.
But I can't holes the pot, can I use the stones in the pot without holes
yes, you can do that also but the problem is how you will know when it is due for watering? Unless you are using clear pot.
Could you please activate the translator. I really like the video. Des de Catalunya.
Do you ever have a problem with ph fluctuating, or always raising too high? My ph is always coming up, makes it difficult to grow anything.
I actually not checking my water ph level and yet my plants are doing fine.
What is the leca made of?
@@berthapoblacion4019 Son bolas de arcilla expandida
There should be a disclaimer on the type of plants that will work with this method.
Can we use sea weed liquid fertilizer for leca
I haven’t tried using seaweed fertilizer in Leca. But it is recommended to use hydroponic fertilizer in this kind of growing media.
I only use them on the top of my soil to keep the annoying gnats away
My only confusion is do you have to use a container that drains ..or is ok to use a non draining container,and fill it ?I see some containers draining as you water them and then some soaking in water on the outside…
You need to have a water reservoir for whatever pots you use. If you are using pots with drainage holes, you can add a bowl that can serve as a water reservoir.
@@thegreenearth Ok so I could use my nursery pots , and put Bowls under them but I didn’t see bowls under your vases that you drilled holes in lol…I think that’s why I’m confused
Ciceyin dibine dokdunuz kucuk cucuk olanlar nedir
Вы проверяли pH? У керамзита(в России он так называется)очень часто щелочная реакция до 10
Привет, я никогда не проверяю рН моего раствора питательных веществ. И, кажется, мои растения чувствуют себя хорошо.
@@thegreenearth спасибо за ответ!)
Bonsoir svp est disponible qu’il s’agit des billes d’argile? Merci
Les galets d'argile sont disponibles sur Amazon en ligne ou demandez à n'importe quel magasin de jardinage.
What's the points of the hole in the vase?
prevent you from overwatering
can use these balls on succulents too?
yeah, I have a lot of videos using it for my succulents
what fitelizer use
General Hydro Flora Series
Can you grow jade plants in LECA?
yes
i dont understand what the holes on the sides do?
Same…😅
Any problems with Mosquitoes Breeding???
Good question
All that leca dust going down your pipes is ok?
Yeah it will make a problem in the long run. I would suggest washing them outdoor.
May i ask what are those holes for?
to prevent over watering and for drainage purposes when cleaning your leca balls from the salts build up from fertilizer.
@@thegreenearth can iuse glass containers wdout holes?
@@lavenderpurp6610 yes you can of course!
Im wondering why you put holes at the bottom side?
This will set limit to your watering and also use for flushing your clay to remove salt residue from fertilizer.
@@thegreenearth thanks.i never put holes on mine .i just add water and change it every week.So what I'm doing is completely wrong.I'm glad i saw your videos
@@raquelcorbito7885 if you are using nutrients you don’t need to change the water weekly because it will evaporate and use by the plants eventually and you will just refill it.
@@thegreenearth i didn't know about the nutrients untill i watched your videos
Can we use this for cactus and succulents ?
yes you can
Leca kya hai or kha milta hai
I am a new user of Leca. I noticed that Leca balls decreases in size as time passes by is this okay or this a fake clay balls. Pls advise me where to buy original true clay balls as I bought mine on line
I don’t think it will decrease in size. You can visit any garden shop in your place and they can give you real leca I believe.
I get mine at IKEA
@@sandraramos6545 IKEA from which outlet
@@Aryansharma-qt8jh Covina, California
Thanks for all the replies. God bless you all
Очень интересный метод выращивания растений,но почему не переводится видео на русский язык?
I,am afraid if i,use the leca on my plant's
i,might lose them!
try to your 1 plant first and see the result
didn't know you are a lefty!
😁
My husband is a plumber
DO NOT POUR THIS LECA RINSED WATER DOWN YOUR DRAINS
It's/clay water/ and it will cause problems for you and your indoor plumbing. It's almost worse than pouring grease down your drains. Idk if you guys know how expensive of a mistake this can be if repeated. Plus i cannot speak for the current state of your pipes as is.
Just pour the water in your yard
Love your content but the caption is too small!!
Italiano per cortesia
Pleas Yall dont i repeat dont rinse your leca in tubs or sinks or any house drais will cost you alot of money to fix your drains will harden and get clogged!!!! Wish it explained it on this video!!
Hard to see what you are saying on the screen, it's to small and fancy
Oh, sorry for that will make it simple with bigger font next time
Roots should not sit in water
Not all the parts of the roots are sitting in the water. And all the plants that I am growing this way are doing well.
Do not throw it in your drainage pipes. It will harden and clog your pipes
Any problems with Mosquitoes Breeding???
I did not get any gnats so far
