Lo

I’m sure I’ve waited a little long but was really enjoying watching the roots grow in water. How do I go about transferring to soil? Or is it possible to keep in water indefinitely?

    You can keep them in water long term if you love the look

      If you want to move it make sure it's watered really well the first day, and keep it more moist for a bit, so it transitions

      Thank you! If I keep it in water, do I add fertilizer to the water every so often? Does it need anything else?

      Yes, I'd add a liquid fertilizer occasionally. I just fertilize on the normal schedule for my plants in soil. And then the water usually needs to be changed in a few days after. I usually use the Instant plant food fertilizer since it's blue and not brown lol but purely esthetic. Shouldn't need anything different than your potted plants besides the water changes to keep it clean .

      Question! I’m in a similar situation but I messed up. I recently moved a water propped pothos to soil, but I didn’t know I needed to water it more frequently while it transitioned. So now it’s all droopy and sad with curling leaves. Now that I know I need to water it more, how often should I do that? I’m afraid going from under watering to overwatering.

      Yea it's kind of a real balance. It came from almost 100% though, so i usually keep it pretty damp for a few days, then as soon as it looks slightly droopy water a bit again. I'd say i usually do that for week and a half, two weeks.
