    Hi - fantastic site! Just stumbled upon it online... I have a question I'm hoping you can offer guidance on. I'm growing the following plants around my apartment in vases of water: english ivy, philodendron, spider plants, mint, jade, and basil. Would you be able to recommend the best general nutrient for me to use given this grouping of plants and given that I am growing them in water? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks! egrove12

    Answer

    egrove12, sorry, we can't help here. Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. The affiliated Garden in the Woods is growing plants in soil (not water), so there is little we can offer besides suggesting you find a local hydroponic shop to ask questions. Best of luck with your project.
