7 Plants That Grow and Bloom in Water (So You Don’t Need Soil)
Houseplants are as useful as they are necessary indoors, both for their ability to renew oxygen, their relaxing effect, and as a simple decorative element.
However, not everyone has the opportunity to devote time to plants, and if that’s the case for you, you’ll be pleased to know that there are certain 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 soil. This is a simple process, and although plant growth is slower with this method, we can have an indoor garden without having to spend hours caring for our plants.
Dracaena braunii (Lucky Bamboo).
The name of this plant is misleading because, despite its similar appearance, it is not part of the bamboo family. Dracaena braunii has been associated with wealth and abundance.
Make sure that

the plant’s stems are completely submerged in water, that it receives the right amount of indirect light, and that you fertilize the water at least every two months.
Epipremnum aureum (Pothos)
Pothos is one of the most popular and widely grown houseplants due to its incredible resilience and tropical appearance.
If you want to grow pothos in water, make sure you submerge the end of the stem thoroughly; this will take a few weeks for the roots to develop.
Peppermint
If you’re looking for a plant that’s not only decorative but also useful, peppermint is certainly the right choice for you. This aromatic plant, which is very useful in the kitchen, can be grown in water.
It doesn’t require much care: submerge the branches until they form roots and place them in a sunny location to allow the buds to emerge.
Spathiphyllum
If you don’t already have it at home, you’ve probably seen it in offices, shops, or at friends’ houses: the Spathiphyllum is undoubtedly one of the most popular houseplants.
If you grow it in water, it will produce beautiful, fragrant white flowers in addition to its beautiful, deep green leaves.
Delicious Monstera
Because it doesn’t require much light, it’s perfect for growing indoors, both in soil and in water.
Use a sufficiently large container, as the plant can reach impressive heights.
Common Ivy
Ivy can also be grown in a pot filled with water. For this type of cultivation, ivy varieties with smaller leaves are preferred.
