## I find they get too spindly and often rot unless they're right near a
sunny window. They also get some kind of mites/aphids and have to be
sprayed a few times while indoors. I use Miracle Grow, a regular
houseplant food on them. I feed just enough to keep them a nice green
color.

I had real problems with the roots rotting away, even though the leaves
were nice and green. I finally tracked it down to the Phospahtes.


# Another thing that helps keep their roots healthy is a bubbler running in
the water keeping it from becoming stagnant.

I hope to keep them with the GF, so I won't be adding any MG.


## With enough light and fish "poop" they should breeze through the winter
without a hitch. :-)
