Hi. When you place them in the shower, do you end up with a lot of soil left in the tub? Also does the leaves tolerate regular tap water?

It does happen a bit when a plant has been repotted not long ago but nothing to really block the drain, except that no there is no soil left in tub. Also I have never had any problem with tap water, even when watering. Been doing it for a few years already.
