Let’s talk about many different plants that grow in water. You can take almost anything (vines grow particularly vigorously), cut a piece and place it in a pretty vase. Just make sure the stems are submerged but the leaves are not.
Light Requirements
One of the unique challenges of growing indoor plants hydroponically is finding the right location for them in your home. Placing them on a windowsill exposed to direct sunlight is usually a bit much as it can overheat the water.
Too much light can also promote algae growth unless you use opaque containers or dark-colored jars (such as amber bottles, dark gray bottles or dark blue jars).
Instead, choose a plant that can tolerate indirect light (some of which we’ll discuss below) and place it in a bright but sunny spot.
Avoid areas of the house with drafts, as you also don’t want the water to be too cold.
Fertilizer
If you’re now wondering how your plant gets the nutrients it needs to thrive when it’s grown in water instead of soil, that’s a legitimate concern. Fortunately, it is now easy to find specialized fertilizers suitable for hydroponic farming. For plants that are already well established, you can use them according to the instructions on the container.
- Peace lily
One of the most popular hydroponic growing options. This tropical aroid is a classic houseplant because of its ease of care and beautiful white flowers, and it grows well in water. Provide your plants with bright, indirect light and extra nutrients so they bloom throughout most of the year.
- Lucky bamboo
Did you know that lucky bamboo is not real bamboo? It belongs to the extremely popular indoor plant genus Dracaena, which also includes dracaena and corn plants.
When it comes to aquatic plants, lucky bamboo is the first choice. In fact, you will almost never see them for sale when grown in the ground. I’ve been growing some plants in a simple pot for years, but I never thought about adding fertilizer!
- Pothos
Yes, the classic pothos, everyone’s favorite low-maintenance houseplant, is a great choice for hydroponic growing. As it is a vine, you can cut a piece anywhere on the stem and place it in a beautiful pot to root.
It may not be the fastest growing plant, but it can handle low light conditions like a champ. There are many different varieties to choose from: try ‘N’Joy’, ‘Marble Queen’, ‘Manjula’, or just the classic gold-flecked pothos.
- Anthurium
I’m seeing more and more indoor plant and decor stores selling water flamingo flowers, and it’s easy to see why. This popular alocasia, also called anthurium, produces colorful, waxy flowers that contrast beautifully with its white roots when stored in clear containers.
- Monstera adansonii
The classic large-leaved Monstera delicious may not be the best choice for aquatic plants because it is too bulky, but its smaller relative Monstera delicious is a good choice.
This species, also known as Swiss Cheese Vine, has similar perforated leaves (leaves with holes) but does not grow as clumsily as its larger relatives. It takes root in water and grows easily.
6.Tradescantia zebrina
Like the purple dew plant, the inch plant of the Viola genus (also known as the wandering jewel plant) is one of the strongest, fastest-growing, and fastest-rooting indoor plants on the market.
Since these plants are so easy to grow, it’s no wonder they also thrive in water. Its pink, purple and silver leaves look beautiful in a simple vase! For additional embellishment, choose the three-color version.
- Begonia
You may have begonias growing on your patio or terrace; These plants add a splash of color to container gardens and are a summer favorite. With their waxy leaves and succulent stems, they also make a great houseplant.
You can grow waxy begonias, tuber begonias, angel wing begonias or king begonias in water. For wax begonias, cut the stem and place it in water. For tuberous begonias, angel wing begonias and rex begonias, individual leaves with stems create a simple, elegant presentation.
- spider plant
The spider plant is another long-time classic plant that, for some reason, no one puts in water. In fact, it is an excellent choice for hydroponic cultivation.
This species has low light requirements and does not need much light to grow. To add
