My Lady Valentine Aglaonema loves her new water and leca setup, but I wonder how often do y'all do a complete water change? I'm about every 2 weeks and the bottom water smells a little rotten. Thanks!

Isn’t it amazing? All my aglaonema have taken to Leca and other semi hydro setups quite well! I’m no expert by any means, but I typically change the water every 7-10 days and sometimes go as long as 14 days if I’m busy and forget. 90% of my plants have been transitioned and most of them are doing well. I have this beauty in volcanic substrate and she’s loving it.
