Decided to try and grow this in water indefinitely. How often do I need to fertilize it?

You will need an inorganic fertilizer for water. I use fertilizer water whenever I top off or replace the water. I never use just plain water. Currently using products from Growth Technology.

Fertilizers are salts (the type of chemical, not table salt.) This means that in water, they don't evaporate along with the water. The plant will use them over time, but they can build up if you add them too often. I'm not very familiar with using fertilizers, but this is something you should keep an eye on to make sure you don't overdo it
