This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil. Is that possible? If so, let it dry out "just" to where the leaves start to lose their stiffness and then water with Miracle Gro Root Stimulator. Then in a couple of weeks, start feeding with the Miracle Gro liquid houseplant food, 1 capful to a gallon of water and make sure your plant has good drainage so it isn't sitting in saturated soil. You might transplant your plant to Miracle Gro water control potting soil. That might help as well. I use Miracle Gro products on all my plants and I'm said to have a "green" thumb. Let me know how it goes.

It's kind of like a "set it and forget it" planter. I tend to both overwater and underwater, so this works wonderfully for me. Right now, I have the best parsley and basil I've ever started from seed. The wicks in the planter tubs are probably keeping the substrate at a consistent moisture level. I believe there are other planters that also use a similar method, but this one has a little LED alert to let you know when the water is running low.

Hi, mine are thriving and all I do is once a month change the water and rinse the roots, they need light but not full sunlight. They seem to do great with just a little plant fetilizer in their water, just a little tho. Maybe once a month or so. If you forget, it doesnt seem to bother them. Enjoy them, I do, they are so pretty when they get tall and bush out.

unfortunately, I purchased this as a gift and do not know of outcome. This is a reputable brand. I am sure it will do well for your plants.

I poured about 1/2 cup around the base of the plant - didn't work into the soil, just left it on top and watered. I waited about 8 weeks before I did it again.

It all depends on how much water you want the plant to get and the size of the pot. I usually play with this for about a week before going on vacation. The lower the water source the less water the plant will get and vice versa. You only have so much plastic tubing to play with, so it can only be that low.

It should do nicely as long as the plant itself (not the root) is misted with water thoroughly at least two or three times weekly. The plant does not obtain any nutrient from the root. It gets its nutrients by absorbing water through the leaves. :)

Yes, it works great on potted plants. Tested my lemon tree and discovered the ph was too low. Added some hydrated lime and it is doing great!

We are using it when leaves tend to get yellow. Make sure it is not from over watering. And fertilizer you normally use. But not all together

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. It did work well, but I haven't bought any more, prefering to add my own fertilizer to the water beneath.

I would say yes to the inoculant. I could start the seed in a paper towel but could not keep it growing in a pot. That's many pots and tried a nursing crop like rye grass ... Googled up the growing and am still mNot having luck. I am now going to transplant a mature crop from a source down the street. I did plant about a pound of seed and grass seed in the late Michigan Fall on the bluff on the shores of Lake Huron 40 miles North of Port Huron and will have to wait and see on how that will do. But still counting on the transplant crop I will do this early Spring. Good luck on the starting of the Crown Vitch , all the best. I would say yes to the inoculant.

I tried the pot - did not work for me. Don't have a garden, otherwise will start in the ground, but later when it is warmer.

It should suffice, along with regular water changes. I have had good results with this product with a variety of aquatic plant species.

What size are your pots? I have outdoor 20 yeas old plants and added about 3 cups to each plant this spring working it into the soil (Two months ago). I have not noticed a change either. It can take years to lower the ph properly. I would check the ph after two months and add more working it into the soil if the ph does not start to drop. Make sure you are checking the ph properly. A ph change of 0.5 is actually a large change because of how the scale works

I've seen people put these into a small wading pool (kiddie pool) and just fill it with water so that the plants self water through the membrane. That could be an option (or just put something like that under it so the water doesn't drain down).

Yes. I grew mine in a pot last spring and took it in for the winter and did amazingly. It lost about 1/4 of it's leaves over the winter but otherwise did great. Keep it by a window that gets the most sunshine and keep it watered. Mine is now outside again and has doubled in size this spring. My mom who lives in in the same zone had a bit more problems with her plant during the winter, but she cut it back this spring and it's growing great now.

That is precisely how I use it. I get approximately a month of use. Then I go to individual pots. Need to keep an eye on the roots towards the end. They will grow together making it harder to remove plants....fyi
