# I’ve been growing this plant in water. It’s been doing excellent…

_Geplaatst door Felicia op 2024-02-18_

I’ve been growing this plant in water. It’s been doing excellent except for this white stuff that’s growing on it. Idk if it’s mold or hard water build up. Anyone have advice. Also the roots are starting to look fuzzy

if you want to keep it in water try to remove the clear thing. it competes with the plant for nutrients

The clear thing? The glass it’s in?
