I got my ping in early May, so not that long, but it has since gotten doubled in size and now in bloom!
I have mine at south window with sheer curtain drawn. So it gets bright light.
I water it with tap water, but city water here is quite low in TDS I believe.
It is planted in some sort of dark stuff, I think regular potting mix with heavy dose of peat.
Regarding lake water, wouldn't it be much higher in TDS compared to rain water?
Rain water might have some dissolved nitrogen from the air and whatever else pollutant along the way down.
Lake water might have lots more "nutrients" plus some chemicals (it be industrial or pharmaceuticals).
I'm just generalizing. I do not know how the water is in Lake Michigan.
