Growing Tips Place one end of the wick an inch or two into the container so it contacts the plant roots, then thread the wick down through the drainage hole into another container holding nutrient solution. Fill the top container with the growing medium. Keep the nutrient solution level constant by adding water as it evaporates and is transpired, and change the solution every week or two. Try to keep the nutrient solution pH between 5.8 and 6.5 and the temperature at about 70 F. (See Floating Gardens and Soda Bottles for details on creating this type of system from 2-liter soda bottles.)
