So hear me out. What if you could grow 300 plus plants without hauling watering cans to the shower

every weekend or even dealing with soil? Today, Kay, a dear friend of mine from InRuited Love, is back with

passive hydro 2.0 and we are getting into the real life nitty gritty of passive hydroponics or

semi-hydro. Root pruning, reservoir drama, fertilizer fears,

and what happens when you forget your plants for two months? Because I know I have. I'm excited to be

bringing this to you in the Best of Growing Joy series where we bring our most popular episodes

back from way, way back from the beginning of the show eight years ago and bring them to the top of the feed for those of you who are known here because we have so many amazing educational episodes for you. So if you've dabbled in Leca or you're hydro-curious or maybe you've been doing this for a while and you want to nerd out on a different level, Kay's the person to do it with. And this episode will help you troubleshoot, level up, and grow with way more confidence.

So let's dive in.

Welcome to the Growing Joy with Plants podcast, where we not only learn how to care for plants successfully,

but how to simply and

affordably use our plant babies to cultivate more joy in our lives by doing so. I'm Maria,

former plant killer turned happy plant lady, author of Growing Joy, The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating

Happiness, speaker, podcaster, and most importantly, your new best plant friend. On Growing

Joy with Plants, you'll find conversations about house plant care, gardening tutorials, and most importantly, your new best plant friend. On growing joy with plants, you'll find

conversations about house plant care, gardening tutorials, and wellness through the lens of plants.

Plant care is self-care on growing joy. Welcome back to Bloomumen Grow Radio K.

Hey, Maria, thanks so much for having me back.

I'm so excited.

We're doing this interview almost a year to the day of the airing of our first episode together,

which was in October of 2019.

So it's so great to have you back for an update, a recap,

and we're kind of calling this passive hydro
