I have three plants I would like to transfer to S/H They have been growing in container of water for almost 2 months and I would like to plant then in a semi hydro container. What is the best way to do this? Each is about 12" tall and have new root growth on them above and below the water.

Stick 'em in a pot and add LECA.

A plant with roots grown in water culture should take to s/h quite well.

The standard size for most plants is the 8-16mm grade to provide larger voids between the particles.

PrimeAgra comes in a 4-10 and 10-16 mm grade, and I only recommend the fine stuff for plants with hairlike roots.
