Indoor plants are as useful as they are necessary in closed environments, both for their ability to renew oxygen, for their relaxing effect, and as a simple decorative element.

However, not everyone has the opportunity to dedicate time to plants and, if this is your case, you will certainly be happy to learn that there are some types of plants that can be grown in water.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to provide your plants with the nutrients normally provided by the soil. It is a simple operation and, although the growth of plants with this method is slower, we will be able to have an indoor garden without having to spend hours taking care of our plants.

1. Dracaena braunii (bambù fortunato)

The name of this plant is misleading, because although it is similar in appearance, it does not belong to the bamboo family. The dracaena braunii has been associated with a meaning of wealth and abundance.

Make sure the plant’s stems are completely submerged in water, that they receive adequate indirect light, and that you fertilize the water at least every two months.

2. Epipremnum aureum (Pothos)

Pothos is one of the most popular and widespread houseplants, due to its incredible robustness and its tropical appearance.

To grow pothos in water, be sure to submerge the stem end, which will take a few weeks to generate roots.

3. Peppermint

If you are looking for a plant that is not only decorative but also useful, peppermint is definitely for you. This aromatic plant, very useful in the kitchen, can be grown in water.

It doesn’t need much care: soak the branches until they form roots and place it in a place exposed to sunlight to allow the buds to develop.

4. Spatyphilus

If you don’t already have it at home, you will surely have seen it in offices, shops or at friends’ homes: spathiphyllum is undoubtedly one of the most widespread indoor plants.

By growing it in water, in addition to its beautiful intense green leaves, it will also produce beautiful fragrant white flowers.

5. Delicious Monstera

Being a plant that does not require a lot of light, it is perfect for indoor cultivation, both in land and in water.

Use a fairly large container, as the plant can reach considerable heights.

6. Common ivy

Ivy can also be grown in a pot filled with water. For this type of cultivation, ivy varieties that have smaller leaves are preferred.

Use 8-inch long cuttings and be sure to submerge the stems halfway into the water. This way, they will be able to generate roots more quickly.

7. Phalanx

It is also one of the most popular houseplants and can be grown in water following a very simple method.

Simply cut off a small stem and immerse it in a jar filled with water. After a very short time the plant will adapt to growing in water and will produce abundant foliage.

Now that you know which plants are most suitable for growing in water, you can have your own indoor garden without having to worry about soil, pots and saucers and without having to spend hours and hours.
