⚠️The ONE RISK ⚠️ of using LECA for Orchids | Problem SOLVED ?? #ninjaorchids #shorts #orchidcare

Leca is a wonderful media for orchids of all kinds. However, there is one characteristic that I always warn against and that is evaporative cooling which leca naturally has. Keeping your temperatures stable and above 20ºC / 68ºF will ensure that the root system of your orchids will not be affected by evaporative cooling. There is a wonderful alternative to leca, though, and that is lava rock. Just in case, your environment is similar to mine, and you do not heat your winter grow space.... lava rock being inorganic will replace the leca without evaporative cooling effect and your orchids are good to grow ??
