Hello. I have had my Click and Grow for almost two years and have really enjoyed having it. One thing I have noticed, though, is my plants will often grow roots into the water tank by growing through the wick medium.
At first it usually seems like my plants have a hard time with it and get some leaves browning, but after I pluck all the dead stuff off sometimes the plants seem to adapt to having some roots in the water.
I have been able to keep plants alive much longer than they probably should by letting the roots grow into the water. I assume if they are growing through the wick, the plant is rootbound in the pod container?
I once tried to trim the roots in the water but it was a bad idea and ultimate the plant died from it. I also once tried to add hydroponic plant food to the water, but that also didn’t work. Now I just leave the roots alone and provide water like normal and have no issues.
I was curious if any of you have had experiences with the roots growing down through the wick?
