My silver inch plant is thriving but brown water came out the bottom today when I watered which is a first. Is this something to be concerned about??

Have you used fertilizer in the past? I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about. It’s not going to come out “clear”, it’s passing thru soil

I did fertilize last month so maybe that’s it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’d say that’s it definitely

definitely mixing w the soil nothing to worry about at all! i have 3 inch plants and this usually happens bc of the soil!
