# Ok plant fam; What do I do now? My maranta has been in a self…

_Publicado por Plant Dad el 2025-03-18_

Ok plant fam; What do I do now? My maranta has been in a self watering planter using tje wick method. With a bigger root system groing into the water now, should I just throw her in pon when the time come to re-pot or stick to the soil?... Thoughts?

There’s some you tube videos about maranta and pon. I don’t really know about it but it reminded me of something so I went looking. The roots are just going after the water it’s kinda cool the plant doesn’t seem super root bound or anything to me. But again I know nothing about this type of watering or Pon. I just saw a video talking about growing plants with pom or water or rocks and the roots looked like that but it’s normal cause they are just going after the water. Good luck!!
