Hi, I have a few plants and have done a few water propagations but I see some plants absolutely ✨THRIVING✨ in water. How do you get such large root systems? Should I be using fertilizer? If so, which is best? Halp please! 🥺

I just started using rapidstart and it’s working insanely good for my semi hydro plants

I was just thinking about getting that same product lol. I don’t do a lot of water propping though and they currently only had huge sized bottle in stock. I’ll keep my eye out!
