How to use our Boba Blooms
Leca Bubble Balls & Colorful Clay Mix
instructions:
* Prepare your Leca balls: Prior to use, place the Leca balls in a container and soak them in water for 12 to 24 hours. This step ensures that the balls are adequately hydrated and ready to provide optimal moisture control for your plants.
* Prepare your plant: Choose a suitable plant for potting or repotting. Ensure the plant's roots are healthy and free from any damage.
* Choose a container: Select a clean pot or container. If using Leca balls as the sole planting medium for indoor hydroponics, choose a non-draining pot. For traditional potted plants, make sure the container has proper drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate the plant and provide room for root growth.
* Add a layer of soaked Leca balls: Place a layer of soaked Leca balls at the bottom of the pot, approximately 1-2 inches deep. This layer will aid in drainage, preventing water from accumulating at the roots. Skip this step if using Leca balls as the sole medium for hydroponics.
* Fill with Colorful Clay Mix: Gently pour the Colorful Clay Mix onto the Leca balls layer or directly into the pot, depending on your chosen planting method. Fill the pot until it reaches approximately one-third of its height. Spread the mix evenly, ensuring it covers the entire base.
* Plant your green companion: Carefully position the plant's root ball on top of the Colorful Clay Mix or directly into the mix for hydroponics. Ensure the roots are adequately covered. Add more mix around the plant, gently pressing it down to provide stability.
* Watering routine: After planting, thoroughly water the plant, allowing the water to flow through the drainage holes (for traditional potted plants) or directly onto the Colorful Clay Mix (for hydroponics). This step helps settle the mix around the roots. For hydroponics, maintain the appropriate water level to ensure the Leca balls remain in contact with water.
* Monitoring and care: Check the moisture levels regularly by inserting your finger into the soil mix or observing the water level (for hydroponics). Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry (for potted plants) or as needed to maintain the appropriate water level (for hydroponics). Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture may harm the plant's roots.
* Light requirements: Place the potted plant in an area that suits its specific light requirements. Most plants thrive in bright, indirect light, but refer to individual plant care instructions for optimal light conditions.
* Enjoy your garden masterpiece: Sit back, relax, and marvel at your beautiful plant arrangement. Regularly observe your plants for signs of growth and provide additional care as needed.
