I love propping in Leca. Water is my go-to, but sometimes props seem to just want something to hang on to, so if they’ve been taking a while in water I’ll put them in Leca and that usually does the trick.

NGL – I had to google “columnea”. Gorgeous plants.
Since they are epiphytic, it makes sense that airy leca substrate would be perfect for props. I use leca + water for most of my cuttings (pothos, philodendron, monstera). The roots like something to grab onto.
