How to Grow Houseplants in Water
After growing many indoor plants without soil successfully for the last few years, I am excited to share with you this simple method to Grow Houseplants in Water that work wonders! We will look at How to Grow Houseplants in Water, the names of plants that grow easily in water, and lots of helpful tips. If you are drooling over all the gorgeous propagation stations with glass bottles and healthy houseplants in water, let’s begin!
Remove a 6-inch stem from a healthy philodendron plant. Make a clean cut with a pair of scissors, gardening clippers or a sharp knife, cutting the stem just below a set of leaves.
Pinch off two or three sets of leaves so at least two leaf nodes on the stem are bare. Suspend the leafless end of the cutting in the water. The upper leaves should rise above the top of the container and the bare leaf nodes -- where the leaves were removed -- should be in the water.
Change the water every three days, allowing the water to sit out overnight before you change it. In about 10 days, the stem will start to form roots.
Step 2: Take Your Stem Cutting.
Step 3: Use a Rooting Hormone.
Step 4: Place in Bright Place.
Step 5: Wait One Month.
Step 6: Plant Your New Rooted Cutting.
You want as strong a piece of the stem as you can find with at least 2-3 nodes (joints). Trim the bottom to within a quarter-inch of the bottom node. Long pieces of jointless stem that are underwater will rot.
Put the trimmed stems, bottoms down, in a clear glass of water on a windowsill that gets good light, even sunlight. I like to use a Kitchen window so that I remember to add water as it evaporates. Clear glass containers seem to help the cuttings root faster.
Gently remove the leaves from the stem.
Let the cuttings dry.
Place in water.
Place in a bright spot.
Wait for roots to grow.
