Hi Wendy,

If you potted it with a lot of the old roots in place, you may want to take
it out now and make sure there aren't a bunch of dead roots that are just
sponging water up onto the base of the plant. You should only keep nice
healthy roots when you make the switch to S/H. If the plant was growing
drier previously then a lot of the roots probably wouldn't have liked the
new conditions.

If you made your own container you may need to adjust the spacing between
the base of the plant and the water level so that it's not too wet or too
dry. You don't have to be really exact but it's certainly possible to get
it wrong, I have a couple of times.

Try a few different things in S/H. You might find something you have grows
much better that way, or you may not. S/H is not a cure all but I'm liking
some of the results I'm getting as I switch different things to it.

Hi Ruth,
Gosh that is a good ratio of blooming plants.
Curious as to whether you just top up or flush with the fert &
water? I have only one in Semi/Hydro & it is not doing so
well. Wondering if the container is too large?
Also I thought one had to flush with H2o once in a while
to help eliminate the salt build up?
