I'm interested. Can you show a picture from the side to see how it sets in water. So now it just stays in the water? Do you have to change the water?

#### plantmother replied on 2025-01-29

i’m still learning as this is my first attempt at growing a plant in water but i’ve noticed that the ones that are more submerged do better. I change the water once a week. I didn’t do a great job of cleaning the dirt off so there has been some rot that I want to clean up frequently.

Thank you. I'm going to try it.

One more question. Do you use tap water or distilled water?

#### plantmother replied on 2025-02-13

sorry I never saw your reply! I just use tap water and a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide

Nice job! Mine is smaller and I have a Betta fish in the water. Love it!
