# So basically, I have a marble queen pothos!! I’ve chosen to grow him…

_Posted by HelloKitty0629 on 2024-08-14_

So basically, I have a marble queen pothos!! I’ve chosen to grow him in water.(I no longer want to deal with dirt.) I have seen a lot of new growth and it is thriving!! My issue is the water is continuously getting algae!! Please give me some advice on how I can either get rid of it or minimize it!! (It is currently soaking in a water and hydrogen peroxide solution. I noticed the hydrogen peroxide kills the allergy every time I change the water.)

There’s not really much you can do from what I know, unless you change the water out weekly most get algae of some kind. It all just has to do with a water environment mixed with organic matter (your plant) and then sunlight hitting it. You could maybe put it in an opaque water tight container, that way it limits the light being directed at the water and also hides it from your view if any algae still forms

You can get a glass or a container that is not clear to put them in

That helps a lot for me now you still will have some algae but may as much as a clear glass
