Fun fact: lechuza and the toy company playmobil belong together. This is the reason why you can buy tiny toy pots for your child’s playmobil house with „lechuza“ printed on the pot
I never thought that I've had a green thumb. I've had a christmas cactus, a peace lily and an angel wing begonia for a couple of years. At least they're still alive but I would not say that the peace lily and angel wing begonia are thriving. I'm getting my first Lechuza Deltini pot tomorrow. I'll be transplanting the peace lily. I hope to see it perking up.
I am a soil (potting mix) grower and have two Lechuza rectangular pots for my string of turtles (perperomia prostata). From there I harvest multiple parts of this into separate plants and once they are established I sell at a local market (trash and treasure/farmers market). From one parent plant 2 years ago I have created many plants and so far have made about $100 profit. Ok really not much yet but.... now original costs are already taken care of, the cost per plant unit is tiny. I have about 20 plants ready to sell soon and profit is good. The parent plants are doing well and for me they are a propagating machine. Every 2-3 months I will be harvesting 10 plants from each Lechuza pot.
I bought a mini the other day, very cute. Still need to get my toes wet with the semi-hydro thing I am not very confident to try but at least it’s a start lol
Your plants are gorgeous. And your videos are helpful and relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing your experience with self-watering planters. I have three Cubicos. I love them because they’re an attractive way to display table-top plants, allowing me to cut down on the number of horizontal surfaces I’ve been using in my indoor plantscape. Before I splurge on more tall floor planters, I want to try a couple in the Classico and Deltini designs, as well as a couple of other brands. I love your idea of customizing some of the planters for your own use by adding holes to assist with drainage. I’ll experiment with that adaptation on less expensive brands.
I like Lechuza Planters, they’re expensive but have great quality. I have the mini, 21 cm and 28 cm. I also sprayed 21 cm to terracotta to match my decor. Love your videos and your cheerfulness showing your plants and plants products. Happy Planting 🪴🙏🏾💚🌿🌱💦💧
I love Lechuza pots! I got introduced to pon when I bought a few mini deltini pots. I’ve had so much success with philodendrons in pon that I am in the process of moving my smaller plants into pon. I agrée that Lechuza pots are the best self watering pots.
You can make your life easier by buying the Cube 12 or 14 and use a net pot for pond plants with it. Heissner net pots are even fine enough to hold in pon. Poking in the stick for the two wicks is also no problem. Been using this setup for years now.
I have 5 pot sizes from them , 12-14 pots altogether. I also use wicks! same reason, I don't think leca would wick properly on it's own , specially in deep ports. My suggestion is to try gravel on the top, a layer of about 2cm. I use gravel because it's heavier and smaller. It helps me anchor the plant better I fell, and should lower evaporation I think.
I have one Lechuza pot and I'm using it with Pon. The one thing I don't like about them is the tall feet on the inner pot and that distance between the bottom of the pot and the reservoir which forces you to use a wick. For most of my semi-hydro plants that are in leca, I prefer the bottom of the inner pot to touch the bottom of the reservoir pot and not use a wick. But that's just me. But they are nice pots and I like that they do come with the pon.
When you say flush do you flush the pon is it the same if you planted them in a soil substrate? If so why do you flush? And how do you do it? Are there any plant indicators that say ‘hey I need a flush’ thx 🙏🏻 for this helpful video ❤
Shocking that this isn’t a sponsored video! I would like to know what makes them so much better than others that I’ve found for a fraction of the price on Amazon- even the same design as far as it having the little “legs” that you fill up with the pon and it wicks up from the reservoir that way. Love your content, by the way! Do you use pon at all? Also curious why you never directly root in leca. It’s done great for me, particularly if I prop i water until I have a very small (1”) beginner root then transplant in leca/pon. My Monstera dissecta didn’t want to root so I put it in leca and it did great. ❤
I'm curious about the purpose of using a self-watering pot with a moss pole. The point of the self watering pot is to avoid watering on a weekly basis, but moss poles need to be watered regularly. So my question is, why use them together? Does the moss pole benefit from it? Asking cause I’m going to repot a monstera in a self watering pot (with soil) and I wonder if I should add the pole or not. If I go on vacation, can the pole be let dry for a month?
Do you have a video on how you made your Syngonium Moss Wall? I got a balconera and was thinking to plant a few different Syngonia in here together, so your video inspired me to try to make the moss wall. Would love to see how you did it since I've only used smaller moss poles before :)
Thanks for the video. Do you think it would be possible to use the inner self watering part with a different outer pot? I dont really like the style of lechuza pots but would like to try the self watering option. Thanks!
I think making the holes depends on the pot. If the pot is going to be going into a cover pot, or an external reservoir that's going to cover the holes anyways, then no. There's not really much point. But, if the pot is going to have the holes that are out to the rest of the room, then maybe. I don't know how effectively the holes would increase the oxygen levels within the leca, but It's not really going to have any side effects. So why not?
The Classico LS seems nice but the smallest size is 22cm ... If they would make it in 13, 15 and 18 cm it would be perfect... The Deltini I dont like because they are too tall
I agree about getting more smaller classico sizes. I guess I like the idea of the Deltinis being tall if you have a tall plant or have a trailing plant in them.
sorry to bother but do u have ur strelizia in the lechuza pot in hydroculture or does she also have soil ? cause i just got a 160 cm high strelizia and idk if i should move her to my new lechuza pot also WITH soil or move the plant to hydro, i think she should be ok in earth no.. ?
Hello, mine is certainly not in soil. None of my plants are. The decision is yours to move it but one thing I can tell you is that they love living in leca and my plant is thriving. Check out these videos as evidence. ua-cam.com/video/upZVSQtsVk0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GE2hmeopJjs/v-deo.html
@@TheLecaQueenhmm. So it’s never empty? I’m still within the 8- to 12-week period suggested before using the self-watering feature. But I thought we’re supposed to allow the indicator to remain at the minimum level for a while before adding more water. Have I misunderstood the instructions? Thanks.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection lovely please tell me what solution you put in your Leca and water I am using the foliage Focus please tell me if that's the correct one please text me back have a blessed day
Your video titles are getting a bit ridiculous. Pure click bait. Lechuzza are well known for decades used by half of the planet. You are talking about them like its some kind of miracle. Its just pot, cmon. You are trying to reinvent wheel, like with moss poles and other stuff. Easy to clean ? Like any other plastic pot. 24cm perfect for larger plants? 25 is too much ? Dust proof ? Im not even going to continue with those ridiculous statements. I loved your vids bit you got to the point where a lot of youtubers get - out of ideas.
Hello M. Thank you for watching my videos and supporting me. I really appreciate it and thank you for taking the time to comment. I am so glad that you already knew about Lechuza and have for decades, not everyone does, and I can say that because up until a few years ago I did not. My experience with some people, not all, is they ask me what I use and why. That is the spirit with which I made this video. For those that may not know about Lechuza pots, but also letting them know why I use them and how. I am sorry you thought I was trying to reinvent the wheel or what you are calling ridiculous statements. I am simply a human being showing other human beings who may be interested in what I do and why. Thank you for your support thus far and I hope you stick around for more. Nora

😃You sound like a commercial for Lechuza! You should reach out to them so they can sponsor you.

How do you trx your plant for bugs (the first plant you showed... calissy rebels?).

LeChuza pots are fantastic! They are really great pots. They only con is the price. In Canada, they are way too expensive!
Too true!

This will cause root rot when used with soil media. Have you actually tried it with soil?
Doyou keep water in the bottom of the pot all the time
Yes I do.

Where do you find them on sale? ❤
local retailers and online.
If you feel comfortable, putting the ventilation holes in your pot, do it.
I'd like to be safe than sorry and make the holes. 😁
No one talks about a dumb cane I am trying to grow some yellow leaves everywhere .....help
Can you jump on Facebook and show us what is happening?
Do your bird of paradise roots sit in water reservoir or only the wick does?
The roots eventually grow into the reservoir.
@@TheLecaQueen ahh ok.. and it doesn’t cause it to root rot so far?
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection lovely please tell me what solution you put in your Leca and water I am using the foliage Focus please tell me if that's the correct one please text me back have a blessed day
Hey Jillian, Foliage Focus is the one I use.😊
To be honest, a "premium" pot is not needed in this hobby. Yes, they are great pots but they cost too much for what it is.
That is 💯 true not needed but sometimes nice to have if one wants to. Always nice to know the options. 99% of my plants live in makeshift cache pots.
They are too expensive for me

If you don't like the video, don't watch that simple. There is no need for your all-knowing rude attitude!
Then don’t watch. No need to be negative. I didn’t know about them until the other day.
