Plant Updates: See What's Thriving and What's Not - Lessons Learned

That african violet is absolutely gorgeous!

Most of my plants are doing very well, but a few are just alive but not really growing. I just keep trying.

That African violet is so juicy, it looks like bok choy! 😂 Also thank you for showing the Caladium 'Pink Symphony'. I don’t think enough ppl showcase their caladiums growing successfully in semi-hydro. We need that confirmation! To know it works. Then there are things like Croton, Aphelandra, etc., that I feel like nobody ever attempts or discusses. Lol.

Good morning thank you for Sharing beautiful plants lovely house plants lovely collection 🌹🌹😎😎❤❤

Wow Nora am obsessed with ur channel . Am not quite experienced enough to try Leca just yet . But I love watching you with ur amazing beautiful green babies xx

Peggy how is Pete from Pete vs plants? I have sent him messages but no response and I haven't seen any videos from him in a year.

I love updates. Thanks Nora!

Hi Nora, I was wondering what are you using as your catch pots? I keep staring at them trying to figure it out...lol

It was great to get updates of your beautiful plants! I’m going to get those 3 ferns; they’re awesome! I really can’t believe ppl could critique you on how you pronounce a plant name; it’s not that serious. Ppl pronounce my name differently in front of me & I don’t even correct them. Don’t let anyone cause you to change the way you operate your hobby & channel. Thanks Nora!

What do you mean by "mineral based substrate?" Is that a type of potting soil?

Your plants are amazing! Just an idea that I had while watching this split screen video: You could get a raised pedestal on a turn table (lazy susan), and I think that would make it 1 step easier to show the multiple sides of your beauties. All my planty love from USA! I strive for my moss poles to be like yours someday!

"I decapitated it" 😆🤣

Thanks Nora. So much to learn for all of you videos.

Love this one! we need a vid on "mineral based substrate" please! What's in it? how do we make it? Love your work!

Beautiful ❤😊

Lovely to see how plants are doing. The Maiden Hair Fern is a tricky one. I couldn't get it to grow in Leca either. I have it in a mix of Leca and MAB Grow. For future reference if it struggles again but the roots are okay, burn 🔥it back to nothing, place in a sunny window and it will bounce back.

Wow! I'm loving that Caladium 💚🤍🩷

I’d propagate the tops of the leggy begonia and put them all on a trellis. All that gorgeous purple!

♥ ♥

Thanks for the updates 👍 Your ferns are looking so happy living in Leca 😀🇨🇦

Where do you get your pots

Love this video! Especially the update on the Peperomia Shumi Red! I've got one in quarantine at the moment waiting to be transitioned. As per some of the other comments, I'd also like a video on "mineral based substrate" as it's something I haven't played with yet!

I gave up on the peperomia schumi red.. It just kept dying, I kept buying new ones and then realised that I was stressing myself out so much with it with leca wasn't worth my spending hours a week trying to save it. I am interested in the mineral based growing medium though. I have seen pon, but it's quite fine and ridiculously expensive. I have a giant bag of pumice and another big bag of volcanic rock. I might actually give it another try with my own mix of 'pon' mineral mix.

Maidenhair is my nemesis, along with fittonia's. I have been trying to grow one for well over a decade. I do like yours with pon or mineral mix though. Will absolutely have to give another one a try.

I don't find all plants thrive in leca or semi-hydro set ups. Some plants will just always do better in potting mix. Maybe the pepperomia is like that?

Great channel? Could you please do a video about leca vs pon?

Also, how would you recommend people living in apartments to clean leva, considering it can clog up pipes if rinsed in kitchen sink or shower?

Thank you Nora for the update! It makes me so happy to see so much growth in leca❤

Please give your fertilizer formula for the leca. Love your videos. 😊😊

Can you share what is the substrate you use for the “Calathea White Fusion”? Thank You

I see n this video among others and now I am on a Leca journey
