Yes, Tin I grow in saucers of water but in the summer I just put outside with no water.The majority of phrags like it but sometimes it's trial & error with besseas.All of mine go in water & if I find they are sulking a bit out they come.
Grow in saucers of water? I think I need more of a visual. So do you mean you have it potted and the pot sits in a saucer?
