We walk through exactly how to set each one up so your fish stay safe while your water clears up. We cover pothos, peace lily, spider plant, philodendron, lucky bamboo, Monstera adansonii, syngonium, purple wandering wood, mint, bamboo palm, Chinese evergreen, and the surprisingly powerful sweet potato. You'll also learn the four mistakes that turn this method dangerous instead of helpful, from soil residue to poor water flow.
