# I decided against soil for this gorgeous girl. How do I grow her in…

_Posted by Dare on 2026-08-18_

I decided against soil for this gorgeous girl. How do I grow her in water? Do I need those balls and moss? Can she just stay in water? I’m so new so any encouragement or tips are soooo so welcome!!

Now pics are first and the last two are the day I was gifted her.

Once it's all set up there is no maintenance

It's literally just plugging in the tube into the pump putting the tube in whatever plant you wanted in that's in water and plugging the pump into an outlet
