I don’t have any more soil-grown plants in the house. I think people have trouble imagining certain plants in this method because they believe that part of the plant, primarily the root area, is in the water. On the contrary, no part of the plant is in the water at all.<br /><br />Think of the pellets simply replacing soil as an anchor. And as for water, there is only about ½ inch – 1 inch at the bottom of the pot; not very much (and definitely below the plant). The only difference between soil and hydroculture plants is that one uses dirt and the other uses clay pellets as an anchor. Anything can be grown either way.<br /><br />Have a good one, Marthawaterrootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16515813649316491268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009634.post-32611008445369660332006-10-30T14:19:00.000-05:002006-10-30T14:19:00.000-05:00Do you grow your amaryllises in water also, Waterroots?

This is where I come clean and confess: I don't have much self control over the Amaryllis displays either; I brought home an Apple Blossom kit as well last weekend and all I was doing was my grocery shopping. In my defense, how on earth could I resist when the packages were so inviting? Now my only problem is how I'm going to stop myself from buying the other two types of Amaryllis that were also available?! :) I’m past the period of ‘no more plants’ when I’m out shopping. I’ve realized there’s no point continuing to lie to myself. As long as there are nice plants available, there will always be room for one more. My new Amaryllis is potted up and sitting snugly in front of my best window. I’m looking forward to the first signs of life. Happy growing!waterrootshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16515813649316491268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28009634.post-77074619734540036072006-10-28T19:45:00.000-04:002006-10-28T19:45:00.000-04:00Oh, I'm glad that I haven't stumbled over any of those! They are too magnificent to resist.<br /><br />I'll have to stay away from all the ones selling them.<br /><br />My Green Thumb Sunday post is about this difficulty to resist these kind of temptations....Mrs Lifecruiserhttp://lifecruiser.comnoreply@blogger.com
