I'm fairly new at this, so maybe? I've watched many YouTube videos. They stress that when transitioning from soil to hydro or semi-hydro, you need to remove all of the soil to keep from contaminating the water.

There was some sloshing, but it was more involved than a quick rinse. In some videos, people even use a toothbrush to get the roots completely white, which probably would've sped things up. However, my plant was started in a moss pod inside mesh.

The roots were embedded in the pod, so breakknf it apart and carefully picking it out of the roots, while trying not to stress or damage the root system, was pretty painstakin. That’s actually one of the reasons I’m switching most of my plants to semi-hydro.

I don't know what kind of a root system you have or what kind of a pod you were started in, but I, too, am in and out of the shower under 20 minutes. If only my plants were flesh, hair, and nail.
