I recently tried this with 3 rooted cuttings as well and they are doing good beginning new growth a month later!

Are you using a multi-part fertilizer for them? I’m just using the pictured “Kelp me kelp you” seaweed based fertilizer because it said it can be used in hydro, not sure if it’ll need anything else

### Auxsman commented on 2025-12-18

It shouldn’t need anything else, just water changes so the media doesn’t begin to grow harmful bacteria

How often do you change water? I’ve been reading every 2 weeks

#### Snail Diva replied on 2025-12-19

For cuttings that is correct but for semi hydro, you do need synthetic fertilizers

Sooner for sure week to week and a half
