I have changed some plants to hydroponic and some plants say ‘top up water’ whereas others just say water!  
Why is this??

It’s just a reminder to check the water level. I have several in semi hydro with leca. I get the same reminder. You apparently chose that under soil selection.

Thx Phil, just think if they are in hydroponics they should all be top up water as that is how hydroponics works

You must have a continuous flow system on your plants? I’m using pots made for leca so they are all individual. Guess they have no choices for full hydroponics
