How to cultivate aquatic plants Just beneath a node, take a sizable cut. Look for a container in which your cutting can root. Although any glass jar will do, it can be beneficial to use one with a thin neck. Jugs and glass water bottles from Kmart have become popular among social media users. If you want to, you can move your plants into potting soil once their roots are at least an inch long.
Here are 7 plants that can grow in water
1. Devil’s ivy
It's simple to grow golden pothos or devil's ivy in water. After cutting the stem of your plant below a node with scissors, let it soak in water for up to two weeks to allow it to root. Put the vine in the ground to grow once the shoots are visible.
2. Fiddle leaf fig
The fiddle leaf fig is the second simple plant to try growing in water. Use a cut with several nodes for optimal effects. Wait for the cutting to grow after submerging it in fresh water in an area with indirect sunlight. In about six weeks, you should start to see roots.
3. Jade plant
Being a succulent, jade plants are easy to grow. Jade's susceptibility to rot is a frequent problem when propagating it. Before submerging the cut in water for propagation, let the stem dry out and develop a callus over it. Make use of a rooting hormone with antifungal properties. Change the water once or twice a week.
4. Rubber plant
Although rubber plants can be grown in water, soil may be a better option. Put a 15 cm long cutting in water. Because the rubber plant is also prone to root rot, make sure to change the water once or twice a week. Cuttings of rubber plants may not root in water for 12 weeks or more.
5. Spider plant
You may want to try propagating spiders if your spider plant is doing well and you have many spider offspring growing from it. When a spider plant baby has a small nub on it, cut it off. The roots will spread out here. Make sure that only the roots of the plant are submerged when you submerge it. As you wait for the roots to grow, pick a location with plenty of indirect light.
6 Monstera (Philodendron)
Place your philodendron cutting in water. These plants do well in any kind of light. But if yours isn't growing, try using brighter lighting.
7. Lucky Bamboo
Fortunately, bamboo is incompatible with chemicals like chlorine that are present in tap water. In a small glass of distilled or bottled water, place your cutting. Wait, change the water once a week, and pick a location with strong indirect sunlight.
If you've become an expert at growing plants in water, you might want to try aquascaping as a new gardening hobby. These plants only grow in water. After that, you can showcase these aquatic gardens in your house and possibly even keep fish there.
