Does anyone have experience with leca or other semi-hydroponics as an alternative to soil? Im pretty new to houseplants, so I got a bag of MiragleGro and didn’t realize that it had soil mites AND has horrible drainage overall. I’m kind of over soil rn :/

Miracle grow is terrible. I make my own dirt-less soil - equal parts peat moss, compost and vermiculite. You can bake the soil in the oven to kill any bugs. Look up soil sanitizing.

Maybe you can return the MiracleGro. I use Espoma mixed with orchid bark and cactus oil.
