I've been referring leca newbies to your channel. You have a pleasant way of teaching and great presence on camera. Always look forward to new videos from you.
You are too kind, thank you!
Do you have memberships or a patron? Your the only person I’ve found that explains everything and I do mean EVERYTHING which has saved me so much time after wasting so much time from watching other people.
Thank you, those kind words mean alot. Yes I do have membership, click the join button on my channel and here is my Patreon.

As I watched you dump the res into the sink I thought "I should mention that you can water soil plants with the remaining nutrient solution...", then realized... You probably don't have many plants in soil hanging around :)
Just found your site and I love it♥️. Hydroponic is something I’m very interested in and your site fits that perfectly ‼️ I’ve been watching several of your videos🌹
Awesome! Thank you and welcome.
You are seriously the BEST!! Thank you for providing a thorough and simple explanation. You have motivated me to switch to LECA 💯%. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! 🥰
❤ I have been trying for an hour. Thank you so much.
Thank you. You are the most excellent teacher. I love your videos. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Efflorescence! A fancy word for mineral deposits. Many thanks for keeping us in the know. I didn't know the technical term but now I do. I do flush my beauties and I had seen videos that spoke about the mineral deposits but I never heard the technical term. Your videos are fun and informative. Nora, approximately how many plants do you have? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is curious. I still have a few plants in soil but my plan is to convert them to leca by end of summer. Keep those videos coming! 🙂
Thank you Alfreda! I appreciate your company. Efflorescence right! I did not know it either! Now we all know. I have no idea how many plants I have because who counts!😂 I should count I guess!
Hello there, Ms. Leca Queen 👸🏾! Your explanations are so clear and so thorough, I’m wondering if you’re a teacher by profession. If not, you’d make an excellent one! I’m relatively new to your channel and I very much enjoy your informative and fun presentations. Thank you.
Hello and welcome. I am not a teacher, unfortunately, check out the Q&A video I did where I address this very question. th-cam.com/video/6pW9hsBooWU/w-d-xo.html
Another outstanding and informative video Nora💚
Thank you Yoli.
Another great video, thankyou so much Nora,
Thank you Layla.
Hi! I truly enjoy all your tips etc.,
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the information on flushing. You have a wealth of information on plants and thank you for sharing. I look forward with anticipation to learn something new from you. Thanks
You are so welcome!
A specific super thank you for including links to your other videos when you answer comment questions. I tend to read the comments because often others have already asked what I would ask. It is SO helpful to click the answer link to move on to another of your videos of immediate interest to me. Why the rest of the universe (that I watch) isn't doing this, I'll never know! Really enjoying your channel and subscribed after this, my 3rd video watched. Looking forward to the rest.
Hello!! I am so glad you enjoy my efforts. I try to respond to everyone but it is hard. I put the relevant links where I can because it is what I would appreciate, so we think the same 😊
Hi, I am a newbie to leca and your videos have been super helpful, do you maybe have a video on how to flush leca plants in glass jars without the mesh pot? I couldn"t find one on your channel.
Thank you for watching. I don't keep my plants in glass jars, that is why you could not find a video. I prefer the 2 pot method. I also don't like the potential for algae that glass jars have. 😊
Flush day.
Flush day is a fun day! Except when one has to flush 60 Hoyas😂!
where do u get those plastic cups vases from
Sorry I'm late watching this, I fill the reservoirs of all my leca plants with aquarium water as I have 3 aquariums. My question is, as my tap water is hard and also has a PH of over 8 is this, as I assume, too hard to flush with? Is it best to do as I do now and just pour a jug full of aquarium water , which is much softer and PH 6.5 to 7.0 over the leca to flush? I love your videos.x
Tqvm for sharings such a very educated infos...I am a new beginner but would like to know how warm my water should be when flushings...low warm or medium warm can't be over warm afraid the water will kill my plants....right my dear???
Hello. Room temperature water is perfect.
Hello Nora, can you tell me how you get your plant leaves so shiny? Thank you for your informative videos
So nice of you. I just clean them with water when I am flushing.
If you go a month without flushing, do you top up with water or nutrient solution?
Apologies if you’ve already covered it in a previous video, but how often do you change the nutrient solution? Is it whenever the reservoir is evaporated? Or do you continuously top up the solution
Hello, check out this video where I address all those issues. th-cam.com/video/pb8DAfMJLlk/w-d-xo.html
I'm wondering what plants do you think would do good on moss poles and when would be the best time to do it, when repotting or anytime

May I know how often to you water plants in lecca ?? Is it the same like plants in soil ? And when you say reservoir what do you mean please??
Hello, my plants in leca always have water. The reservoir is a pot that the leca plant lives in that has nutrient solution. Checkout this playlist for added details. Thanks

what size are your pots? and do you purchase them from?
Hello, I have various pot sizes. I respond to your question in my Q & A video that can be found here:

I'm wondering, If I have a Micians.... can I wash the leaves?
yes indeed.
Thank you so so much, I've been trying to search for weeks, for a vlog or videos of anyone flushing a micians and I was scared to get the leaves wet. @@TheLecaQueen
Why do you use plastic backed mosspoles for some plants and full moss poles for others??
Check out my q and a video out on Wednesday where I explain this. 😍
Live your videos. Just wondering if you flush your moss pole as you also pour nutrients into it?
Thank you. I flush the poles before I put the nutrients in. Check out this video it might help. th-cam.com/video/pb8DAfMJLlk/w-d-xo.html
@@TheLecaQueen legend! Thank you!
Are all of your plants hydroponic?🧐
Yes they are.
Why would my leca be giving me this new... like a day into me using it?
A day? I am shocked. An actual day? 24 hours after you just potted up the plant?
@The Leca Queen yea I rinsed the leca to get dust off put in vessel then added reverse osmosis water with nutrient solution.. could I have not rinsed leca enough... I only used sink water to rinse.....
