Empty the water from the bowl, take out the bulbs, clean all the pebbles. Then put everything back into the bowl as before except this time add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to the water. Set in the sun and turn the bowl every few days. I always dump out the water and add fresh every few days too and again a few drops of rubbing alcohol.<br /><br />Putting in the dark helps them from getting too tall and flopping over. The rubbing alcohol seems to help that too as well as keeping the water from getting all mucky and staining the bowl.Beach House Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304023289393977207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575028680263259349.post-72921342130318961192010-11-15T22:22:09.046-07:002010-11-15T22:22:09.046-07:00You must have a green thumb.
