Monstera

Monsteras have been one of the easiest plants to transition into semi-hydroponics. They love to grow roots, especially with the addition of a heat mat. They usually don’t exhibit any signs of stress, nor do they abort any new growth. The roots are nice and thick, so soil is removed very easily.

As with any plant, if you are rooting one leaf from one node, (such as an albo monstera cutting) make sure you do keep an eye on it. I’ve successfully adapted an Albo Monstera to a LECA environment and the root system is strong and fuzzy.

This is one of the easiest groups of plants to transition into LECA.
