Phoenix,
Okay, a got a wee bit of time and a long answer,
so if you have any questions, I'll be back around thru..
When you have a
plant in water, the
plant developes water roots... roots that are made or created to utilize water and nutrients in the water and how it is delivered to the
plant...
Now when a
plant is in dirt, it developes dirt roots, that utilize dirt nutrients, water, air in the dirt, etc. and it's created to use those roots as ways to get it's nutrients..
Now, you've had a
plant in water for several years that developed water roots, and suddenly,
it's taken out of the environment it's grown to
know and put it somewheres' where it wasn't quite prepared to go yet....
When I grew house
plants **Never grew the type your
growing** but when I would switch them over,
I would put them in dirt, but have a water reserve in the bottom, like a saucer, not too big, and kept it moist... that way, the
plant still had it's water and the roots were able to still use the water, and then in time, kept lessening the water, so it would intern grow dirt roots...
I don't remember a time frame of the inbetween
time...but keep an eye on it..
It may work..
Someone a little more firmiliar with that specific type
plant and maybe able to zero in
a little bit more help for you too!!!
Weezie
