These 6 hydroponic plants will thrive like crazy just tossed in water

Hydroponic plants are familiar to everyone, and many people love growing them. After all, you don't have to worry about when to water them, and you don't have to worry about soil dirtying your home. Today we're recommending several plants that are very easy to grow hydroponically, and filling out a pot is a matter of minutes.

1. Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris)

The first one we recommend is pennywort. Its leaves are round like little coins, symbolizing wealth and prosperity, great fortune and high status, carrying many people's beautiful hopes. Hydroponic pennywort is very suitable for rough, low-maintenance growing; as long as it gets enough sunlight and water, it can grow very fast. Pennywort likes warm, humid environments and is also very shade-tolerant, with an ideal growing temperature of 22 to 28°C.

2. Water hyacinth

Water hyacinth's blue flowers, its bulbs floating on the water surface, and its soft texture are all adored by plant lovers. Water hyacinth is extremely easy to propagate; you just need to cut the creeping stems that grow sideways into a few sections and put them in water, and they will naturally take root. Caring for water hyacinth is also very simple: as long as you keep the environment warm, keep the winter temperature above 10°C, and provide appropriate light, it will grow very well.

3. Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes)

Water lettuce's appearance is somewhat similar to the hibiscus flower. This plant will overrun everything as long as there is water, but growing it at home also makes a fine ornamental display. Water lettuce is very easy to grow: as long as you keep it above 7°C and give it appropriate indirect light, it will basically survive indefinitely, and even those with a black thumb can grow it.

4. Bowl lotus

Bowl lotus has large, brightly colored flowers, a fragrance that carries far, and green leaves that ride the ripples. Even when bowl lotus isn't blooming, you can enjoy its leaves, which are also very beautiful, so many people love growing bowl lotus. Bowl lotus also has extremely strong adaptability and no dormant period; as long as temperature and light conditions are suitable and these points are handled well, bowl lotus can be sown and bloom all year round.

5. Ivy

Ivy stays evergreen through all four seasons, with emerald-green leaves and long trailing stems that hang downward. Hydroponic ivy is even fresher and more tender green, instantly bringing the fragrance of the fields to your side. Ivy is a shade-tolerant plant and dislikes direct strong light, so when growing ivy hydroponically, just give it indirect light.

6. Spider plant

Spider plant needs no introduction, right? The very first plant I ever grew was a hydroponic spider plant. You just need to snap off the small plantlets that form on the little offshoots, soak them directly in clean water, and keep them in a warm, shaded spot; they will quickly take root, with no need to add nutrient solution. When the water runs low, just top it up with clean water.
