Top 8 Plants That Can Be Grown From Cuttings In Water

1. African Violet

African violets (Saintpaulia ionantha) are perfect for propagation in water. Choose a young, healthy leaf with about two inches of stem and place it in a narrow-necked bottle to keep the leaf suspended and dry.

2. Baby's Tears

Baby's tears (Soleirolia soleirolii) create a dense, trailing mat with tiny leaves. To propagate, pinch off a cluster of stems and place them in water. This plant adapts well to water, but submerged leaves may rot, so change the water weekly

3. Begonia

Begonias (Begonia spp.) are known for their thick, succulent stems, which root easily in water. Hardy wax begonias are a good starting point, but even fancy rex and tuberous begonias will grow well. A single leaf can start a new plant.

4. Coleus

Coleus (Plectranthus scutellarioides) is a colorful tropical plant that’s easy to propagate in water. With many varieties available, it’s a popular choice for creating vibrant gardens. Take a six-inch cutting, remove the leaves

Impatiens (Impatiens spp.) are perfect for shady gardens and can also grow in water. Snip off a few stems at the end of the growing season and overwinter them in a vase. They will root and grow as clones of the parent plant

6. Lucky Bamboo

Lucky bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana) can thrive without soil and often serves as a decorative centerpiece. The stalks are sometimes trained into shapes, adding to their ornamental value. However, these plants can become top-heavy.

7. Philodendron

Philodendrons (Philodendron spp.) are incredibly easy to grow in water. They adapt well to various lighting conditions and can be propagated from stem cuttings. An established plant can donate several stems for water cultivation

8. Spiderwort

Spiderwort (Tradescantia zebrina), also known as inch plant, is a low-care houseplant that thrives in water. Both the zebra-striped variety and the purple-leafed cultivar are well-suited for indoor living. They make a striking focal point in rooms
