Hi there! I am new to the plant parent community but recently had the chance to take a cutting from my indoor English Ivy. I’ve been propagating it inside water for several weeks now and have been really excited to see new roots growing. However, I have yet to add it to my Planta account. Is there anyway to add plants growing in water to our profiles so they can be part of the care routines offered on the app?

it looks beautiful! when you add a plant, it asks you what type of soil it’s in. scroll until you find water! (:

Add a plant like you normally would and in plant settings you can edit the “soil type” to water.

Today is the first time I’ve actually gotten a notification about my water-growing plants and this is what it will recommend. I’m super impressed with this app so far! 47 plants added \& counting !

Yes! It’s a (semi) new feature \& I love it!
