      I love watching my indoor plants grow. The bamboo thrived this way and I keep them with the beads still. Aloe rooted very well then needed to be moved into soil.

    Hello! I went through your video list & I haven’t seen any updates on the plants in water gel beads (I’m sure it’s too soon).
    1) I am curious to know how your plants are surviving/thriving.
    2) Also, are you only using the gel beads for the initial growth/propagation with these plants or do you plan to continue to grow them in the gel beads?
    I am planning to do the same pretty soon for some of my plants, however I have read it wasn’t advised to use only gel beads for aloe so I’m really interested in your results!

      I have updated about them in my weekly garden tours. The plants are doing great. They all looked a little sad for a few days and I thought it would not work out but all are still alive. The bamboo thrives! I'd recommenced bamboo!

      Hello! The bamboo and spider plants I planted are still growing and thriving even after all this time. As far as the Aloe it worked really great for about 2 months. Grew huge roots but then after that I moved them to dirt. So I recommend it for rooting purposes but not long term. Hope this helps!

    Can I know how many days does the jelly ball lasts. Or how many times should we change the jelly balls for lucky bamboo plant.

      For my bamboo I’ve had the same water beads in mine for over a year. I just add water when they start to dry and shrink up. Time will carry. I add water about every two weeks.

      I was able to leave the bamboo in permanently. The aloe can only stay till it sprouts. I’m not sure what your plant would like best.

      I'm not sure but I wouldn't be surprised. They do not hurt the plants but don't use them for plants you plan to eat to be safe.

    Jesus is God who came in the flesh to be sacrificed for the forgiveness of sin for any person who believes and calls on His name. Beware that Satan will soon appear on earth claiming to be Jesus. A few days before Jesus was crucified, He was eating at the home of Simon, a leper who Jesus had healed, when a woman came along with a box full of precious ointment and anointed Jesus with its contents. The disciples were mad, saying that the woman could have sold the ointment and given the proceeds to the poor. Jesus explained to everyone that she had anointed him for his burial, and commanded that what he had done be told for a memorial of her where ever the gospel is preached.
