Almost died in the soil previously, with stunted growth. Switching to hydro to see if it is better experience, had her for a year. Wanna take you guys on this recovery journey. Any suggestions? Tips ?

If your keeping the plant in water for a long period of time you will have to add hydroponic fertilizer (I actually have been meaning to get some for my plants but have been pretty lazy lol)
