please 😭 your confused look into the camera gets me every time

Try using root tabs for aquarium substrate instead! They slowly dissolve in the water and you don’t really have to mess with them at all after that! One root tab last me about a month or two depending on the plant! All of my plants are in a water set up and that’s what I use and the growth rate is crazy fast. I also add a chunk of horticultural charcoal for water purity.

I was getting so fed up of darn fungus nats, so I went almost 100% soil-free (except my peace lily).. even my orchids and hyacinths.. so far so good!

Gotta mention to wait for roots develop before adding fertilizer!!! I started adding it immediately and experienced a lot of issues with rot. Once I started waiting for roots the problem went away!

Can you do a video on air plants? I love your videos and look forward to watching them, you are such a fun person to watch and i am glad you decided to do KZfaq❤️

Monstera was my first ever “houseplant” and I actually bought it for the intentions of growing it in my aquariums and ponds. I now have a few Peace Lilys and Monsteras all throughout my tanks!

Omgosh! Thank you! I had no idea... I'm a newer plant mom. (Since October 5th) I just went to separate my neon robusta and thought I broke a piece so I put it in water to propagate (even though it had a huge, thick root). I started to grow a few of my plants in water because they THRIVE! I never thought about fertilizer!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PLAAAANTS!!! 💚🌿💧

I love using easy green from aquarium co-op. It's an aquatic plant fertilizer, but I find it works really well for hydroponics or even for plants that are looking a lil wilty!

I have my pothos in my aquarium and they are amazing at sucking up all that ammonia that kills my fish, also it is a beautiful plant that grows up on my walls if it can. Also I add root taps for my other plants and the floaters and pothos take all excess

I'm switching the water and using my aquarium water I was discarding to reduce the nitrates/nitrites. They love it!

I use my fish tank water changes. Plants love it.

This is my go to fertilizer for everything! It is formulated for hydroponics, semi-hydro, and soil. You can even use it as a foliar spray! My hoya love it. And I do too!

how cool is that😮..good info amiga. You got to do flowers when is season...iam trying that this summer for the first time. 🎉🎉

Could you do a video on the different soils you use and which ones go with which plants? I would really appreciate it!!

I love growing plants in water One that seems to be doing well for me is my spotted begonia. Been almost 3 months & its got new growth and good root development.

I took your recommendation and just ordered some of the stuff you use. Thanks ❤️

AAAAHHHH she answered my question 🥳❤️

I grow most of my plants in water, I use FRESH straight from the sky rainwater in their pots

You inspired me to propagate a cutting of a sad but much beloved pothos and it’s going well so far!

Thank you!

I'm going back to that. 👍

This is my favorite fertilizer hands-down! When I started using it new growth popped out of every inch of stem! I’m now 97% pon and it still works great.

Nice video. Bestiful video.thanks

Thankyou! I needed this!

My rescued peace lily is THRIVING since I put her in water a few weeks ago... so many new leaves already! I want to repot her but want to let her get a lil beefier before I do and will definitely add some of this fertilizer. Thanks Krystal!

Can you make a video about fertilizer, root stimulators, and insect repellent

Thanks. I didn’t know about adding fertilizer for plants in water.

I've had some zigzag euphorbia in a vase for well over a year and it's so happy that I tried setting the mother plant's pot in a cache pot, which immediately filled with rain water. Happiest she has ever been! Too heavy to do this in winter inside but when she goes out next summer, shell get the same treatment!

That's one great fertilizer you're using.

The reek part. 😂 I got that neem oil spray (it’s not all neem oil, I can’t remember the name right now 😅) and when I have to spray my plants I hold my breathe and then tell them I’ll see them later cause they stink. 😅😂🎉

Super interesting!! Would love to hear you talk about gris lights. I have a monstera under grow lights and she is not impressed lol

WORTH KNOWING THANKS

Im a newbie with plants and I find growing them in water is risk free from root rot and other diseases. I check on the roots every 2 days to gauge their grown and every time I go woooowwwww even if it’s a small amount of root growth

I’m sad I can’t have a monstera 😢 but my cat will for sure eat it and I am not about to get my kitty sick

Thank you so much for sharing Krystal!! I've been trying to decide between Dyna-Grow and Foliage-Pro for my plants in water!! Plus I've had my wars with scale, fungus gnats and spider mites and I'm sick of all of them lol, and I'll be saving money on not buying no more soil and grcowing them in water!!❤️🥰🙏🏼

Thank you! I'm getting this for my hydroponic avocado babies. I have 9... but the collection keeps getting bigger

Excellent

I didn’t understand how hands on goring in water it , definitely going to change over I love the look and I wanna do plant things everyday and I kinda need a new house for my plants now

I have bamboo. I change the water once a week - filtered! I’m gonna try this.

Except spider plants, they survive on spite alone \s

The best fertilizer!!

I've been growing purple heart in water for the past 6 months or so. What's crazy is that not only does it have multiple blooms every day, it's growing green leaves 3-4 inches underwater. I wish KZfaq would let comments have photos. None of the other tradescantia varieties/ cultivars I have grow this well in water for this long

i feel like we’re getting closer to you setting up a plant aquarium

The coloured ones are great for reducing algae growth too though.

I'd love if you could make a short on growing orchids in water. Love your content!

hey crystal I love your plants so much Just because of you my plants are still alive Thanks... First cmnt plz pin it🥺

i use these in my school greenhouse for the zip walls

I just use my fish tank water from tank cleanings. lol we recycle around here

It's not dirt, it's SOIL!!! 🤣👍❤️

Well, I found another video that said not to buy anything. Use food scraps of banana peels and eggshells soaked in water (strain it and put it in another container) to add nutrients and voila! My plants all❤it and they are literally thriving‼️

TBH after I boil a pot of broccoli i save the water and dilute it and add to multiple types of plants. The best free fertilizer. Try it and come back and tell me what your experience was. I had purchased a Night Blooming Orchid Cactus online from Mercari in mid July 2022 and the plant had sustained damage from a hurricane before shipped to me and the baby growths I cut off didn’t have new babies growing until I added my broccoli water at the beginning of this month. So it did something lol.

When you add the diluted fertilizer to the vase, do also add more clean water?? I am new to plantrent hood and can’t figure that part out 😂

I've got to try this! My monstera hates me. She produces leaves but as soon as they get big they turn yellow and die. I've fertilized, changed soil, changed the pot.. I want her big and beautiful!

So per month, three weeks it is in plain water and then it's one week in water with fertilizer?

Perfecr timing for this video the fish ones r gross foxfarms is good but time for new one and wondering which to choose about half my plants are in leca or just water other half soil the fertilizer thing can be tricky thanks for the info :)

Do you use liquid fertiliser through winter too? Or just Spring and Summer?

As many pointed out, try going to a local fish store or look online for aquarium plant fertilizers, I’d bet they’re a little more suited for this

What if we want to make our own fertilizer, could u make a video on making your own and stuff please❤

❤

I want to propagate a monstera that a family member gave me that's been barely surviving for the past idk how long. She's been giving it old paint water and flavored soda water and all kinds of things and it's barely had any light so it's just kept reach up and up and now it just has so much stem and had 2 extremely browned and dead leaves. It just recently got a new leaf and I'm so scared to chop it and put it in water. I'm so proud it was able to make a new leaf and I don't want to stress it out more than it's been already with all the weird watering choices and lack of light. Idk what to do 😭😭 Do I need to go out and buy this? Or would I only need it if I intended to keep it in water? Would it help promote root growth or would I need something else for that? I just don't want it to die 😭

Can you do a video on which plants you put in the water plzzzzzz

One time I added fertilizer to my hydrophonic plants, and I got some incredible algae growth XD I'm pretty sure that means I added way too much haha

I grew a snake plant in water for a year then I switched to dirt and it's still going.

I use Miracle-Gro water soluble fertilizer

I sprinkle afew granules of instant coffee into my water propagations. Essentially “free” and it works! No chemicals needed!

I’m going try try a couple of plants in water and see what happens!

Do you have any tips for a lime plant that's dropping green leaves?

Dear Krystal, how do you keep your plant roots algae-free?

You could put fertilizer in a spray bottle or pump so you can just add a bit to the water?

Umm,, what do you do when the roots gets too long? I have pathos. Bt its roots got so long that my pot can't keep them. My pot isn't that small. So,, do i have transfer them into a bigger pot continuously?

Let then know that the 9-3-5 refers to the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the liquid solution. Awesome Channel, I'm stuck watching when I should be sleeping. Oooo do you grow natual pesticides like mint

I changed the water every 3 days but still the roots and inner walls of the container get covered with algae growing and roots to it becomes difficult to clean the roots as I may break them in process and solutions to prevent algae

Can a golden pothos grow in water🪴

Started my singonium in water. My family has a 15+ year old one in a vase. They never fertilise so it stays the same, almost. Putting one two leaf a year. If you want yours to stay that small - do not fertilise that often. :) Just saying it, for the people with small spaces.

Fish tank water is the best

I heard most tap water has all the minerals plants need to live happily 🤷🏼‍♀️

You could grow miranta plants in water? I have one not doing good or growing new leafs for a year I'm afraid to propagate it

I love water propagation and Leca.. I do not want to deal with soil again 🥴🫠

Have you tried aquarium plant fertilizer

Aqarium water good to?

What would happen if you didn’t change the water that often?

I have dynagro gro cN I use that

How do the roots get oxygen?🧐

I have a philadendron.ita leaves were getting yellow, I just put it in diatulled water, but it has roots that look like turmeric or ginger, can I grow it in water or just soil

Hi, Our Monstera has a whole lot of air roots.... And they're really long. What's your look on this?

Well.. I keep reptiles. Sooo.. I have reptisafe. Idk what all is in the reptisafe, and I have well water, but my plants are doing really well in water with reptisafe in it

So you typically need to change the fertillized water 1 week after using it back to normal water for 3 weeks, then repeat fertillizer 1, water 3, etc? 😮 do I have that right? I'm trying so hard with this peace lily 😅

Do you use this for your orchards as well?

Is this okay to use with just tap water? Or is that bad fpr PH balance?

Looks like my window sill

When you mix the nutrient into the gallon of water and you don’t use it all can you store it for next usage ?

Help! I’ve had my pothos in water for a year. They’ve been thriving in the water for such a long time, but suddenly the leaves have been turning yellow. Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks in advance 🥹

Hi I just want to understand something, I am supposed to change the water once a week so the plant sets in the fertilized water for only one week of the month and the rest of month in clean water only?

What water do you use? I’m in the UK so our tap water has a lot of fluoride. Would distilled, rainwater or something else’s be better for these?

Do you transplant them to a pot with soil after they developed roots or keep them in water forever?

Can you please suggest how can we avoid those green algae on the roots for plants growing in water (I could see some of your plants with green roots too, are they harmful?)

I've started taking water from my fishtank

OK I use the same fertilizer and have been wondering about qty. Is it the same qty for plants in soil per gallon?

Where did you find the monstera fertiliser because they’re all too confusing for me 😅

Can you grow any houseplant in water?
