Has anyone tried to hydroponically grow an aphelandra zebra before? This is the most dramatic plant I have and I feel I water her about every two days⊠đ not a bad thing, but wondering if sheâd be happier in full time water instead of soil.
I have 2 in semi-hydro. They are very dramatic plants but surprisingly there are some of the easiest plants I transferred into leca. Iâm not sure how they would do in water only but I think it would be fine since mine were thriving in leca before they even grew water roots.
1 gilla Thatâs very helpful! Maybe Iâll try the leca route. Thank you!

Are you talking about this kind? Mine took a turn for the worst so Iâm trying to water prop whatâs left but the stem wasnât full of nodes like pothos so Iâm not sure if it will workâŠ
Yes it is!
Do you know where exactly it needs to be cut to prop it? I wasnât sure. Also, the leaves withered so fast as I left it out an hour to callous before putting it in water. Do you think it will make it? See pic
Omg they are sooo dramatic! Mine was so sad and droopy in soil. Moved it 3 days ago to just straight water with some liquid plant food and itâs bounced right back! Stem and leaves are firm and thereâs even some new roots coming in already. I might experiment and leave one in water and move one to LECA đ§
See my pic above of the sad sad zebra leaves in water. Do you think even those could bounce back?
