How to Grow English Ivy in Water :

Ivy plants are also easy to root in water. Trim off any bottom leaves and place your cutting in a jar on a well-lit window sill. In a few weeks, you should start to see roots growing in the water

How to Grow Philodendron in Water: 

Fill a clear jar or container with tap water, leaving 1 inch of space beneath the rim. Let the water sit overnight to allow time for the chlorine to dissipate.
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.

How to Grow Coleus in Water:

how to root coleus cuttings is in water. After taking your cuttings, place them in a small glass of water and place this in bright indirect light. Change the water every other day. Once you see roots grow, you can transplant the coleus cuttings into soil.

How to Grow Fiddle leaf fig in Water:

Step 1: Prepare Your Propagation Container.
Step 2: Take Your Stem Cutting.
Step 3: Use a Rooting Hormone.
Step 4: Place in Bright Place.
Step 5: Wait One Month.

How to Grow Begonia in Water:

You can start them in a glass of water. Keep the begonia cut stems cool and moist until you get them into a clear vase or jar of water. While you do your pruning, put the cut stems into a plastic bag lined with a soaking wet paper towel to keep them from drying out. Remove all but the top leaves from the cut off stems.
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.

How to Grow Geranium in Water: 

Yes, geraniums can be rooted in water. Take cuttings about 6 inches long and remove all but the top leaves. Put the cuttings in a jar of water in a bright spot but not in direct sun. Be sure to remove all foliage from the cuttings that might fall below the water level; leaves in the water will rot.

How to Grow Spider plants in Water:

Use demineralized water or let your tap water sit for a day before placing the plantlet in the liquid. Fill a jar or glass with this non-chlorinated water and set the cutting into the container with the bulk of its leaves outside the liquid. Place the cutting in indirect light until it has developed roots.

How to Grow Jade in Water:

Get a cutting. Snip a stem cutting from the plant.
Gently remove the leaves from the stem.
Let the cuttings dry.
Place in water.
Place in a bright spot.
Wait for roots to grow.

How to Grow Peace Lily in Water:

Peace lilies may also be grown in water with no soil, which can be an attractive alternative to a traditional pot with the use of an elegant glass vessel. Use glass stones or pebbles in the bottom of the vessel so that your peace lily's roots are submerged below the water line but the stems and leaves are above it.
