Today's plant video features houseplants that you can completely grow in water! No need to transplant them to soil, these plants can thrive in a water environment. Includes actual photos of how each of these houseplants are doing growing in a water environment including root growth and how fast they grow. Enjoy!

NOTE: The plant that I labeled as "Peace Lily" should be Anthurium

    Don't fret about the one that you can't get out of the bottle. Just lay the bottle down, put a towel over it and gently hit with a hammer until the bottle breaks. I have done it and the roots are usually fine and then you can put it in a larger mouth bottle. Lots of luck and thanks for your vids.
  • Yes, I have been growing my plants in water for 20 years. I like it better this way. Less black bugs.
  • @iriswan8579
    I love how you reuse jars and bottles to propagate
  • @dawncarlton2251
    I just love baby leaves, or flowers...makes you feel like a plant Mom. ❤😊❤
  • @HallofWin
    My Algerian ivy was dying and I transferred it over to water and it is so healthy and green now !
  • @e.d.h5533
    The plant you called a Peace Lily, was an Anthurium. I have a potful of it. The first Anthurium I was given, was in a tall, clear glass vase, with the brown pebbles (not sure which way you spell lyca). It did very well in water, and bloomed several times throughout the year. I also have a Peace Lily plant. The leaves are dark green, long and narrow.
  • @j-art0221
    I've been growing pothos in 2 of my aquariums. They're very reliable plant in sucking extra nutrients in aquarium water that can be dangerous to fishes.
  • @bbrosser694
    I love your ideas for growing plants in nice clean water, rather than taking a chance on diseases that may be lurking in soil. Thank you very much for sharing!
  • Most of my cuttings have been going in top of my aquarium over last few years. They love it. I also water my plants with the water change, i now have green fingers
  • Thank you for sharing this info. I've have some plants that you have mentioned that I didn't know that they can thrive in water. Looking forward for more videos.
  • @lemyaknight
    I love the idea of you spray painting yet leaving a space to see the root system and the water line 👍🏽

    I know this was from 2 years ago, and you might not get it, but I just found you on YouTube and am thoroughly enjoying learning from you. I now have a Peace Lily growing in water and am looking around for others house plants to put into water. I have a wall of windows facing North and a garden window facing East. Between those two places my plant seem to grow well. I usually give them some acclimation time in the East window and then repot them and move them to the North window. We've had some problems with Fungus Gnats in my Vermiculture container (where my worms are taking our kitchen scraps and turning them into castings). They usually like to go into my plants but liked what food I had for the worms better. I'm looking forward to having a few more plants in water and the other plants with the clay balls on top so the mother gnat can't reach the soil. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I'm even going to try the painted jar with the tape on one side so I can look in and see how much water is still in there. Genius idea!! Also, so I don't have to clean out the green "slime" from my clear containers of the ones I've been trying to propagate by having them in water and getting their roots going. I look forward to watching more of your channel. (I haven't stopped to look and see if you're still posting - I hope so!! Cheers! Lois

    I've had 2 sets of pothos growing in my windowless office in water for about 4 years. I do put in half a plant food stick once a year. I will have to try the agloamena in water. Thanks!!!
  • What you called a peace lily is actually a anthurium plant. They both flower, sort of. Anthuriums flowers are slightly different. Great video and very helpful.
  • Hi Erica! I really like your plant videos. They're simple and easy to understand, and you make plant-raising less daunting for a new plant parent like me! ,😊
  • @sen0ritagee829
    This is amazing.I’m growing some of my plants in water as well!they’re growing very well.
  • I always do this with my aloe vera plants. They grow massive roots in water. Obviously you can't keep aloes in water forever, but anytime I have one that is dying I bring it back to life by putting in water .
  • @noramowat5756
    I learned a lot about plants that I've already had and some that I would love to try. I've tried growing a lot of plants in water but I never knew how much water to grow them in and some other tips that I learned.
  • @jacquelines3685
    Thanks so much!! I was at the Mall picking up Jewelry that was being repaired and the owner gave me large clippings from her Beautiful Aglanema Silver Bay and Schefflera Umbrella Tree plants that I was admiring. She told me I could procreate them. I found your video and THANKS!!🌱🍃🌿💚 UPDATE::: My Umbrella plant and my Chinese Evergreen (silver Bay) are doing AWESOME! They took about 2 mths to develop strong roots. I then decided to grow them in Leca and both plants are really Thriving! Thanks again for teaching me how it's done! 🍃🌱🌿💚
  • When I lived in Catalina , AZ I got a 4 inch schefflera plant as a housewarming gift. Well, after a while, it got a bunch of nats, so I put it outside by my front door on the windowsill. Anyway the wind knocked down, so I decided to just plant it into the ground near the housewall. It started to grow. I clipped off a couple of them and they rooted. I also planted them in the ground by my front door. They were doing really good, except during the summer the leaves burned and in the winter the leaves froze. It did grow the leaves back and it grew really tall. When we sold the house , a botanist bought the house. He took the plants out , including my jadeplants that I grew outside.
