Plant Fatherwhat kind of plant is it? it’s all up to personal choice besides what the plant prefers. if you’re going to transition to soil i’d recommend planting it in a semi-hydro set up with perlite or leca and letting it acclimate to some level of drought before planting in soil

It’s a Philodendron McColley’s Finale. Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely consider it!

Loving the water and seems it does too. 🥰 I had a plant in water for THE LONGEST time. When I decided to put it into soil it quickly started to go downhill. I took it out of soil and cleaned it all up. Now she’s doing great again. 🤷🏽♀️ lol it was a Pothos.

SoupUsually when you transfer plants to soil it’s gonna be a huge shock for them, that’s why the soil needs to be really moist for a while so it transitions smoothly :)

Looks like the cork is already cut. 🤷🏽♀️

The cork is already cut to make it easier to remove so I can change the water out weekly.

As long as the water is getting some fertiliser it’ll do find in the water, I would maybe cut the cork a little bit as it looks a bit tight around the stems

I say if it’s not broke don’t fix it. It looks great!

Looks like it’s doing well in water 🤷🏼♀️ as long as you are fertilizing no need unless it’s what you prefer. If you do definitely put in a chunky mix and water a bit more frequently than usual at first since it’s got all water roots
