personally, I don’t. they are such a easy prop I don’t think they need it. but you can if you want, I don’t think it would hurt anything.

I wait until I see some new roots than I put a tiny bit.

I do not. I use distilled water and top off as needed, only changing it out if it starts to look gross. I had bad luck with tap water (replacing frequently) or adding anything to it.

### Sydnei commented on 2024-01-14

not a dumb question! yes, you can add a bit once you see roots pop out imo  
someone also recommended root stimulant. i’ll try that one day
