Weekly for me, I always use rainwater x

### Gracie commented on 2024-03-25

I change the water either once a week or once every other week. It’s mostly based on what the roots look like

My props have Daphnia in the water so i just top it off when it starts getting low

What is Daphnia?

#### Fluff\&Leaf replied on 2024-03-25

Little water bugs that filter the water, you can also use them to feed aquarium fish

I change out once a week since I add diluted fertilizer and SuperThrive to the water. Algae grows fast with the fertilizer.

What is Super Thrive?

#### Sunny replied on 2024-03-27

It’s an award winning plant vitamins solution that’s been around for decades. Smells like liquid baby vitamins. Try buying it locally. It’s very concentrated. Some online sellers (Amazon) have been selling a diluted version in the same bottles. I bought mine on Amazon and had no issues.

I don’t change unless there’s algae or gross stuff in the water, plants give off a natural rooting hormone and changing the water too often can slow their growth 💗🌿🎀

### Maggs commented on 2024-03-26

Thank you for all of the tips!!

#### Lynda replied on 2024-03-29

Ditto!

I usually do not change the water. I just add water as it needs. If they do get to a point where the water is too dirty, I’ll usually change the water then.
