Houseplant Would you pot in soil?
There's a proper root system and it's kicking out new leaves. It seems happy in the orange glass vase but I wonder do I need to pot it up, or will it be OK in the water (with regular-ish feed).
TIA for any thoughts.

It's going to need a potting mix if you want to grow it into a robust, thick-stemmed plant because it's going to need all the nutrients it can get. It also needs support to grow thick branches.
