    Wow! I have so many succulents that I want to transfer into hydro and this video along with the one on Aloe Vera plants have answered so many of my questions - thank you!

    Very informative video. I'm going to transfer my struggling Christmas cactuses too. Thank you! I will buy the KLN Dyna Grow. Lots of good tips with using a heating mat and drying them out between watering.

    I prefer soil but I have a question. When repotting, can I rinse the root ball in the faucet to get rid of the old soil that's stuck to the roots (and not kill my cactus in the process lol)?

  • @worldgonemad1977
    @worldgonemad1977 Рік тому

    I strongly disagree with allowing the Leca to dry out. Since only the roots are in contact with the nutrient solution, if you let the solution evaporate, the roots will die

    • @thehydroponicsguy2379
      @thehydroponicsguy2379  4 роки тому

      ok- good luck.
      be stingy on the water until see new growth.
      take plant to sink and run water through the pebbles - and that's it!
      repeat once every 1-2 weeks.
      no standing water at the base until you see new growth.

    • @kenjiro2676
      @kenjiro2676 4 роки тому

      They look like a wreck after flowering, it’s natural and the plant should be treated normally. Let the soil dry in between waterings, epiphytes like that.

    • @thehydroponicsguy2379
      @thehydroponicsguy2379  4 роки тому

      sorry for the delay! I have tried pumice. It does not have capillary properties - the engine that makes our system work. We rely on the media to "wick" the nutirent solution up to the plants. LECA works best for this.

    How do you mix the KLN solution thank you.

    • @thehydroponicsguy2379
      @thehydroponicsguy2379  4 роки тому +1

      I use 2-3 TBLS per gallon of water - which is slightly more than the package says.
      I have evn used it a full strength on cuttings.
      Tip: save the KLN used for soaking pebbles and use it to water new transplants. Mature plants like a KLN Solution every couple of months too!
