@CapableGarlic I will be honest! I haven’t had good luck in the past. However, I did just put my silversword into water!!! Sooooo… it should be fine! As long as there’s no root rot :) my issue was root rot to the core of the plant. I should’ve treated earlier and properly haha. Best of luck !! After the secondary roots form it’s best to repot into soil. Like @stephonicle taught me they grow stronger roots! Unless you have a Leca and water set up like @WelsomeRhodotus !! Let us know if you have any questions :))
@CapableGarlic Welcome to the Greg community! Yes, a Pink Princess Philodendron can do well in water, particularly for propagation or even as a long-term growing medium. It's a good option for those wanting to try hydroponics or for propagating new cuttings. Propagation:
When propagated in water, the plant will develop new roots specifically adapted to the water environment.
Long-term:
Pink Princess Philodendrons can thrive in water for extended periods, provided the water is changed regularly and nutrients are added.
Water changes:
Regular water changes (every few days) are essential to keep oxygen levels high and prevent root rot.
Water level:
The water level should be kept just below the lowest leaf to avoid leaf rot. Light and nutrients:
Ensure the plant gets bright, indirect light and that it receives adequate nutrients through fertilizer when growing in water. Hope this helps, Happy Growing!!
