Lack of moisture on the surface of the pot with lecca

[BobcatJohnson]

Many people, including me, use a layer of small rocks to cover the top of the leca. The theory being that the rocks will slow the evaporation rate on the top of the leca surface, allowing the top layer to retain moisture by not drying so quickly. By using small rocks it is easy to remove them one at a time as new growths cause the base of the plant to spread. I still mist the top with R.O. water every morning, but the top of the leca rarely goes completely dry.
