LECA a semi hydroponic or hydroculture growingsystem
Plant pots that work well as LECA pots allow your plant roots to self manage their water and nutrients
Self Watering Pots
The LECA is sitting directly into the liquid nutrients one third of the way up the inside pot
The roots are planted above the bottom third of the pot
Self Watering Wicking Pots
They come with wicks that go through the drain holes and suck up the liquid nutrients into the top pot
The LECA will distribute the nutrients and moisture to the plant roots as the plant roots need them
You can use any pot or vase that does not drain if you drill holes in it one third of the way up
This allows the LECA to breathe and transfer air, moisture and nutrients into the plant roots above the reservoir as they need it
DIY Two Pot Systems
You can also use an inner draining pot of any kind, just set it into a non draining pot with a nutrient reservoir about one third of the way up the non draining pot
