The Truth About My Alocasia in LECA (after 2 years)

💛 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗳𝘆 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻? 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 💛 https://leafylovin.com.au/start-here- Two years! That’s how long I’ve been trying to make LECA work for my Alocasia collection. I wanted to love it! The aesthetics, the "clean" setup, the science of semi-hydroponics. But honestly? It just wasnt working for my home or my plants. After spending a lot on specialized fertilizers, endless pots, and dealing with some devastating root damage during repotting, I’m calling it. In this video, I’m sharing the raw, honest truth about why I’m quitting semi-hydro and going back to a custom soil mix .This isn't about being "right"—it’s about finding what actually keeps these plants alive and thriving in a real home. If your Alocasia has been struggling or you're stuck at the "three-leaf curse," I hope this helps you figure out your next steps. What about you? Are you still team LECA, or have you made the switch back to soil? Let's talk about it in the comments. #AlocasiaCare #Houseplants #PlantTips #LeafyLovin 🌿 Got a plant that's struggling?
