I actually saw a video on using food coloring by putting it with water in one of those glass watering globes that you use to water plants, flowers etc. Slowly.Thanks for all the advice, it just seems like food colouring is a little 'unnatural' or it feels like it can harm the plant. I'll do some more investigating. It's just I've seen some bizarre ones like royal blue and such so just wondering how those can be possible.
