There is a good chance you can nestle it lower while watering. Pick the pot up in your non-dominant hand, covering the drain holes with your palm. Fill the pot with water to the rim. A lot of LECA floats. Use your dominant hand to jiggle the plant lower in the pot. Allow the water to drain as you jiggle it down to a lower level.

Thanks ES. I had planned to do a complete repot so I could remove the algae that has coated the jar, but that is a great suggestion.

One thing for everyone; the newest plant has been treated with Inocucor (now switching to Quantum Total) since day one. No algae growth in the jar at all.
