What’s the best way to add a prop plant currently in water to Planta to track?

I’m curious about this, as well.

I put them in as a plant in a glass container. Then you’ll need to go edit the plant so that the potting medium is water. You can edit the watering frequency as well. You can also do the progress updates and add pictures to see the new growth!

I do this as well! I like having the plant info handy when I get a new prop and then just edit the pot \& soil when it’s time to plant.

I just add them with hydroponic as the "soil" option. And when it pops up to water, i just double check the water level, and/or clean and refresh it.
