- I wonder if my plants in water feel like they’re on a tropical vacation.
You can use the foliage pro fertilizer for plants in soil too but I am currently only using foliage pro for my plants in water. Check my link in bio for the fertilizer.
You may have a plant that is a bit thirstier than others (I’m talking to you peace lily). I have noticed those plants thrive in these hydroponics set up.
Current plants in water: peacelily, monsteras, orchids, spider plants, neon pothos, golden Pothos, syngoniums, orchid, avocado plants, epipremnum pinnatum albo
What plants, if any, do you have living in water and how’s it doing?
Try using root tabs for aquarium substrate instead! They slowly dissolve in the water and you don’t really have to mess with them at all after that! One root tab last me about a month or two depending on the plant! All of my plants are in a water set up and that’s what I use and the growth rate is crazy fast. I also add a chunk of horticultural charcoal for water purity.
yep those are good even in soil and super cheap for a big pack of
them
What brand of root tabs do you use?
Thanks thanks thanks 🤗
Aquarium fertilizer works great too. Flourish excel has been really really good. Even for plants with soil it makes them grow like crazy
I've never heard of root tabs. Just looked them up... will it cause algae if i dissolve it in water? I do have osmocote. Is that a good choice for soil and water?
I was getting so fed up of darn fungus nats, so I went almost 100% soil-free (except my peace lily).. even my orchids and hyacinths.. so far so good!
Yay! So glad you love it too!
I might have to do the same!
I got rid of them (gnats) with hydrogen peroxide, it really works.
So sis I and I did my peace Lilly last weeks she has 5 new leaves curling out alrdy loves it
@@branlinso Did u spray the whole plant, including the soil? I've been using neem oil with water and a drop of soap.. seems to only work temporarily :/
Gotta mention to wait for roots develop before adding fertilizer!!! I started adding it immediately and experienced a lot of issues with rot. Once I started waiting for roots the problem went away!
Omg thank you , it’s my first time propagating and I was going use this right away . You saved my plant !
I don’t think it hurts if you used a lil bit to support roots growth
All of the monsteras I propagated in water with no fertilizer took way longer to root than the ones that did get fertilizer in their water.
I think I saved some from rotting once I added fertilizer to water
@@Fahadx43I know from growing strawberries that you shouldnt put your little baby plant into nutrient rich soil because if the soil doesn't have as many nutrients the strawberry will try to build a stronger root system.
please 😭 your confused look into the camera gets me every time
Monstera was my first ever “houseplant” and I actually bought it for the intentions of growing it in my aquariums and ponds. I now have a few Peace Lilys and Monsteras all throughout my tanks!
Omgosh! Thank you! I had no idea...
I'm a newer plant mom. (Since October 5th)
I just went to separate my neon robusta and thought I broke a piece so I put it in water to propagate (even though it had a huge, thick root). I started to grow a few of my plants in water because they THRIVE!
I never thought about fertilizer!!!!
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PLAAAANTS!!!
💚🌿💧
So happy to help 💚
I have my pothos in my aquarium and they are amazing at sucking up all that ammonia that kills my fish, also it is a beautiful plant that grows up on my walls if it can. Also I add root taps for my other plants and the floaters and pothos take all excess
Hi @beanz4275 how do you set up your pothos? ID like to try putting it in my tank too but the leca pots I tried got springtails and a bare plant would get swept by the water movement. Curious how you have yours set up
@@DianaFerrets I cleanse it thoroughly with water to make sure there is as little dirt on it. It’s basically propagation and I usually stick it on to the glass with a piece of tape. Good luck
Can you do a video on air plants? I love your videos and look forward to watching them, you are such a fun person to watch and i am glad you decided to do CZcams❤️
I use my fish tank water changes. Plants love it.
I've recently started doing this as well. Plants love it. Hey just curious . . I recently had to dose my tank for fin rot with melafix, ( this tank had been neglected at my dads house for a long time and I am just learning how to keep the fishies healthy and happy) anyways should I not use that water for plants now?
@@Zzz-oz6hu its fine.
I love using easy green from aquarium co-op. It's an aquatic plant fertilizer, but I find it works really well for hydroponics or even for plants that are looking a lil wilty!
How much would you use for a vase like what she has ?
I'm switching the water and using my aquarium water I was discarding to reduce the nitrates/nitrites. They love it!
This is my go to fertilizer for everything! It is formulated for hydroponics, semi-hydro, and soil. You can even use it as a foliar spray! My hoya love it. And I do too!
Do you know if this is okay to use with just tap water? Or is that bad for ph balance and stuff?
Could you do a video on the different soils you use and which ones go with which plants? I would really appreciate it!!
If you look back through her videos she has a whole bunch of videos that break down all her personal mixes, along with each type of retail products she buys and uses (orchid bark, cacti/succulent soil, etc) I hope that helps, Good Luck!
how cool is that😮..good info amiga. You got to do flowers when is season...iam trying that this summer for the first time. 🎉🎉
I love growing plants in water
One that seems to be doing well for me is my spotted begonia. Been almost 3 months & its got new growth and good root development.
My rescued peace lily is THRIVING since I put her in water a few weeks ago... so many new leaves already! I want to repot her but want to let her get a lil beefier before I do and will definitely add some of this fertilizer. Thanks Krystal!
I grow most of my plants in water, I use FRESH straight from the sky rainwater in their pots
This is my favorite fertilizer hands-down! When I started using it new growth popped out of every inch of stem! I’m now 97% pon and it still works great.
I've had some zigzag euphorbia in a vase for well over a year and it's so happy that I tried setting the mother plant's pot in a cache pot, which immediately filled with rain water. Happiest she has ever been! Too heavy to do this in winter inside but when she goes out next summer, shell get the same treatment!
AAAAHHHH she answered my question 🥳❤️
You inspired me to propagate a cutting of a sad but much beloved pothos and it’s going well so far!
Thank you!
Im a newbie with plants and I find growing them in water is risk free from root rot and other diseases. I check on the roots every 2 days to gauge their grown and every time I go woooowwwww even if it’s a small amount of root growth
I took your recommendation and just ordered some of the stuff you use. Thanks ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing Krystal!! I've been trying to decide between Dyna-Grow and Foliage-Pro for my plants in water!! Plus I've had my wars with scale, fungus gnats and spider mites and I'm sick of all of them lol, and I'll be saving money on not buying no more soil and grcowing them in water!!❤️🥰🙏🏼
I'm going back to that. 👍
I've been growing purple heart in water for the past 6 months or so. What's crazy is that not only does it have multiple blooms every day, it's growing green leaves 3-4 inches underwater. I wish CZcams would let comments have photos. None of the other tradescantia varieties/ cultivars I have grow this well in water for this long
Thank you! I'm getting this for my hydroponic avocado babies. I have 9... but the collection keeps getting bigger
I didn’t understand how hands on goring in water it , definitely going to change over I love the look and I wanna do plant things everyday and I kinda need a new house for my plants now
The reek part. 😂 I got that neem oil spray (it’s not all neem oil, I can’t remember the name right now 😅) and when I have to spray my plants I hold my breathe and then tell them I’ll see them later cause they stink. 😅😂🎉
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It smells like rotting eggs
Do you use liquid fertiliser through winter too? Or just Spring and Summer?
Can you make a video about fertilizer, root stimulators, and insect repellent
Thankyou! I needed this!
I'd love if you could make a short on growing orchids in water. Love your content!
I have one 💚 it’s right after this video I believe.
@@PlantswithKrystal 🥳 I'll go searching for it. Thank you so much! ☘️
Well, I found another video that said not to buy anything. Use food scraps of banana peels and eggshells soaked in water (strain it and put it in another container) to add nutrients and voila! My plants all❤it and they are literally thriving‼️
Super interesting!! Would love to hear you talk about gris lights. I have a monstera under grow lights and she is not impressed lol
That's one great fertilizer you're using.
Thanks. I didn’t know about adding fertilizer for plants in water.
I've got to try this! My monstera hates me. She produces leaves but as soon as they get big they turn yellow and die. I've fertilized, changed soil, changed the pot.. I want her big and beautiful!
I’m sad I can’t have a monstera 😢 but my cat will for sure eat it and I am not about to get my kitty sick
When you add the diluted fertilizer to the vase, do also add more clean water?? I am new to plantrent hood and can’t figure that part out 😂
Nice video. Bestiful video.thanks
The coloured ones are great for reducing algae growth too though.
Yes! They can have a bit slower root development but keep cleaner.
I have bamboo. I change the water once a week - filtered! I’m gonna try this.
Except spider plants, they survive on spite alone \s
😆😅 Man, never a truer statement! Lol
So per month, three weeks it is in plain water and then it's one week in water with fertilizer?
You got it!
TBH after I boil a pot of broccoli i save the water and dilute it and add to multiple types of plants. The best free fertilizer. Try it and come back and tell me what your experience was. I had purchased a Night Blooming Orchid Cactus online from Mercari in mid July 2022 and the plant had sustained damage from a hurricane before shipped to me and the baby growths I cut off didn’t have new babies growing until I added my broccoli water at the beginning of this month. So it did something lol.
WORTH KNOWING THANKS
The best fertilizer!!
I want to propagate a monstera that a family member gave me that's been barely surviving for the past idk how long. She's been giving it old paint water and flavored soda water and all kinds of things and it's barely had any light so it's just kept reach up and up and now it just has so much stem and had 2 extremely browned and dead leaves. It just recently got a new leaf and I'm so scared to chop it and put it in water. I'm so proud it was able to make a new leaf and I don't want to stress it out more than it's been already with all the weird watering choices and lack of light. Idk what to do 😭😭 Do I need to go out and buy this? Or would I only need it if I intended to keep it in water? Would it help promote root growth or would I need something else for that? I just don't want it to die 😭
I would put it in water. Make sure there's a nod on your cutting. Monstera really do thrive in water. I see root growth after only a few days when I do it. You can put it in water without fertilizer at first.
You don't have to cut it really... you could just rinse the soil off and put the whole thing in water and you don't need to buy the fertilizer right away!!
Either way your new leaf will not die. It will thrive!
But wow I can't believe she was putting that horrid stuff in her plant as water!!!
As many pointed out, try going to a local fish store or look online for aquarium plant fertilizers, I’d bet they’re a little more suited for this
I just use my fish tank water from tank cleanings. lol we recycle around here
You could put fertilizer in a spray bottle or pump so you can just add a bit to the water?
hey crystal
I love your plants so much
Just because of you my plants are still alive
Thanks...
First cmnt plz pin it🥺
So you typically need to change the fertillized water 1 week after using it back to normal water for 3 weeks, then repeat fertillizer 1, water 3, etc? 😮 do I have that right? I'm trying so hard with this peace lily 😅
6 months later I asked the same question lol did you have a resolution?? I have a pothos growing in a jar and have been adding just a few drops of diluted fertilizer to the fresh water lol help me😂
I sprinkle afew granules of instant coffee into my water propagations. Essentially “free” and it works! No chemicals needed!
Really?? What kind of instant coffee?
Excellent
When you get a new plant, how long should you wait before transferring it to water? They don’t do well if I put them in water right after bringing them home
i feel like we’re getting closer to you setting up a plant aquarium
You feed them for one week of the month? Just making sure I’m understanding. Im a habitual over fertilizer
Let then know that the 9-3-5 refers to the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the liquid solution. Awesome Channel, I'm stuck watching when I should be sleeping.
Oooo do you grow natual pesticides like mint
What do you do about spider mites? I don't grow plants but one day I will, you make it look fun. And I don't mean to be weird but I love your eyes. ^-^
Is this okay to use with just tap water? Or is that bad fpr PH balance?
Started my singonium in water. My family has a 15+ year old one in a vase. They never fertilise so it stays the same, almost. Putting one two leaf a year. If you want yours to stay that small - do not fertilise that often. :) Just saying it, for the people with small spaces.
Perfecr timing for this video the fish ones r gross foxfarms is good but time for new one and wondering which to choose about half my plants are in leca or just water other half soil the fertilizer thing can be tricky thanks for the info :)
OK I use the same fertilizer and have been wondering about qty. Is it the same qty for plants in soil per gallon?
One time I added fertilizer to my hydrophonic plants, and I got some incredible algae growth XD I'm pretty sure that means I added way too much haha
Hi
I just want to understand something, I am supposed to change the water once a week so the plant sets in the fertilized water for only one week of the month and the rest of month in clean water only?
Do you have any tips for a lime plant that's dropping green leaves?
I heard most tap water has all the minerals plants need to live happily 🤷🏼♀️
Umm,, what do you do when the roots gets too long? I have pathos. Bt its roots got so long that my pot can't keep them. My pot isn't that small. So,, do i have transfer them into a bigger pot continuously?
trimming them is typically fine
I snip them off. Sometimes leaving just one major root is also enough.
It's not dirt, it's SOIL!!! 🤣👍❤️
I changed the water every 3 days but still the roots and inner walls of the container get covered with algae growing and roots to it becomes difficult to clean the roots as I may break them in process and solutions to prevent algae
Is it a clear vase? If yes, try switching to an opaque one.
i use these in my school greenhouse for the zip walls
I have a philadendron.ita leaves were getting yellow, I just put it in diatulled water, but it has roots that look like turmeric or ginger, can I grow it in water or just soil
What if we want to make our own fertilizer, could u make a video on making your own and stuff please❤
If you change water weekly but only add fertilizer to water once a month? So plant only in nutrients one week a month? Please reply
Help! I’ve had my pothos in water for a year. They’ve been thriving in the water for such a long time, but suddenly the leaves have been turning yellow. Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks in advance 🥹
Well.. I keep reptiles. Sooo.. I have reptisafe. Idk what all is in the reptisafe, and I have well water, but my plants are doing really well in water with reptisafe in it
Are you adding it to the water or using it as the water
So the plants only have liquid fertilizer in their water for one week in the month?
Dear Krystal, how do you keep your plant roots algae-free?
@firemelon7296 Just change the water once a week.
@@Paula-420 thank you, Paula
What would happen if you didn’t change the water that often?
Don't orchids need a dry time? I read 5 days wet, 2 days dry or something.
Do you use this for your orchards as well?
Can a golden pothos grow in water🪴
What water do you use? I’m in the UK so our tap water has a lot of fluoride. Would distilled, rainwater or something else’s be better for these?
Fish tank water is the best
Can you please suggest how can we avoid those green algae on the roots for plants growing in water (I could see some of your plants with green roots too, are they harmful?)
I love water propagation and Leca.. I do not want to deal with soil again 🥴🫠
Can you do a video on which plants you put in the water plzzzzzz
I’m going try try a couple of plants in water and see what happens!
How do the roots get oxygen?🧐
I use Miracle-Gro water soluble fertilizer
I’ve been told if the water doesn’t smell you should be fine and that the algae can actually be good!
If I’m wrong please help because I have a big plant living in my fishbowl 😅 (no fish in there tho LOL)
I grew a snake plant in water for a year then I switched to dirt and it's still going.
What kind of water do you use? Just tap water or do you use spring water?
I noticed if you use water from osmosis or petrified water I don’t get the allergy it really makes you wonder what your showering in lol I recharge water every 3 weeks to a month and even then no algae just do it for refreshing the water
Hi,
Our Monstera has a whole lot of air roots.... And they're really long.
What's your look on this?
Do you transplant them to a pot with soil after they developed roots or keep them in water forever?
When you mix the nutrient into the gallon of water and you don’t use it all can you store it for next usage ?
