Description

Love plants? Learn about LECA, an inorganic growing medium with lots of benefits. Have you ever struggled with overwatering? Have you fought the dreaded fungus gnat? If you answered yes, then this inorganic growing medium, LECA, is for you. This 30-minute talk will detail what LECA is (the acronym stands for lightweight expanded clay aggregate), how to use it, and the benefits of using this medium instead of soil. Our greenhouse team member, Heather, will demonstrate how to plant with LECA in a small glass vessel. Then we will set you loose to create your own! Our team will guide you as you choose from a variety of young houseplants and glassware (or you can bring your own glassware from home).
