Semi Hydro Starter Kit

Semi-Hydro Starter Kit – Start Growing with LECA 🪴💧

Curious about semi-hydro but not sure where to start?

Our Semi-Hydro Starter Kit contains the essentials you need to start experimenting with semi-hydro growing at home, making it ideal for houseplant lovers looking to make the move from traditional soil.

With LECA, sphagnum moss and a clear orchid pot included, it's an easy way to get started without having to buy large quantities of each component separately.

📦 What's Included?

👉 LECA – Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate provides an airy growing medium with plenty of space around the roots.

👉 Sphagnum Moss – Useful for propagation and helping maintain moisture around developing roots.

👉 Clear Orchid Pot – The transparent pot lets you keep an eye on your plant's roots and moisture levels as it grows.

🌱 Why Try Semi-Hydro?

Semi-hydro growing replaces traditional potting soil with an inorganic growing medium such as LECA.

The open structure around the roots provides excellent aeration while allowing your plant access to moisture, giving you a different way to manage watering and root health.

🪴 Great for Beginners

If you've never tried growing houseplants in LECA before, this kit gives you the basic components you need to experiment with semi-hydro growing without investing in large bags of supplies.

It's also a great way to try semi-hydro with a single plant before deciding whether you'd like to convert more of your collection.

Looking for a planter to complete your setup? Pair your starter kit with our Hexagonal Semi-Hydro Planter, featuring a water-level viewing window so you can easily keep an eye on the reservoir.

✨ How to Use

Prepare your plant by carefully removing as much of the existing soil from the roots as possible.

Rinse and prepare your LECA before use. Add the LECA to the clear pot, transfer in your plant, then pack the moss around it at the top.
Put the pot into a decorative pot of choice (ensuring it is watertight) and add water. The water level should not reach the moss or the base of your plant.
The LECA will wick the water upwards from the reservoir and your plants roots will grow down to reach it.

Important: Plants transitioning from soil to semi-hydro may need time to adapt, and different houseplants can have different water and nutrient requirements.

📦 Packaging

Your kit will arrive carefully packed and ready for you to begin your semi-hydro adventure.
