I assume you just had the roots of the garlic submerged yeh? Were you replenishing the water? Is there any nutrients in the water (a layer of soil)? Or were you providing a liquid feed? Theres a chance the garlic ran out of nitrogen/phosphate/potassiumso.. i have a jar full of random plants, and the garlic was going strong for a few months, but this week, suddenly melted... roots still there.. what happened???

Useful? I was just trying to propogate it from one piece of bulb.... also i have mang snails in the tankOK. Pity, garlic is usefull to fishes.
thanks, so thats why! it cannot be kept in water for too longGarlic and other bulbs won't tolerate wet feet and cannot be grown hydroponically or in an aquaponics system. The bulbs will rot.
If you want to grow garlic, get a 30cm pot. put some shade cloth in the bottom to stop the potting mix going out the holes. Fill the pot with a basic potting mix. Add some garlic bulbs from the supermarket. Water and fertilise as required.
