Welcome back! Today, I want to talk about plants that you can keep in water with no soil. Sometimes soil can get messy, so growing plants just in water can be cleaner. This is also a good way to up-cycle your old glass containers!

A good plant to grow in water is lucky bamboo. You can get lucky bamboo at most grocery stores that sell plants and Lowes. Lucky bamboo resembles bamboo but is actually a dracaena. They are very easy plants to care for. They like bright indirect light. When growing them just in water be sure to add pebbles or orbeez for stability. 

One of my favorite houseplants to grow in just water is the golden pothos. Golden pothos are vining plants that love to climb. If you’re not too sure about keeping your plant just in water, I recommend starting with a propagation of this one since it is an easy plant to propagate. Like lucky bamboo they also like bright indirect light.

Another great vining plant for this is English ivy. English ivy will thrive in water if it is placed in full sun. Make sure to check on the water level frequently since the water will evaporate faster with the amount of sunlight it gets. If there is not enough light your ivy will start to get lanky. 

Remember to consider the quality of your water when growing your plants in water! Also, use fertilizers since your plant will not have soil to grab nutrients from. Have you ever kept a plant in water only? If so, which one?
