Keeping the roots in water causes them to mold and die over time. Roots should not be floating in water, the bottom of the pot used should be holes. Irrigation from above is not recommended as it will damage plant roots.
The irrigation method should be watered once a week depending on the air temperatures.
As the weather warms up, irrigation can be done twice a week during the summer months.
