Need opinions- I’m growing my deliciosa in water right now and have been contemplating for awhile putting it in soil. I feel like it’ll do better. I’m struggling bc I’m also wanting badly to jisy keep it in water.  
Ultimately i feel like I’m leaning more towards soil.  
Thoughts?!?

Are you fertilizing it? Without fertilizing plants that you’re growing hydroponically they will suffer.

Yes I am fertilizing

Then try moving it back! :)

They like to be a little bit root bound but it depends on whatever aesthetic you're going for
