Always killing your flowers? 5 hydroponic plants you can just toss in water, lush and overflowing without any care

The scariest part of growing plants is watering, because it is often hard to get the amount right, and the plants either drown or die of thirst, so you always end up buying new flowers a few times a year. If you love growing plants, you can try these 5 plants, which survive just by sitting in water and need no care at all. When you see the water getting low, just top it up.

1. Garlic

Do not underestimate a few cloves of garlic. Grown hydroponically, they are not only easy to keep but also beautifully lush and green. With plenty of sunlight, they grow plump and sturdy.

The method is to choose plump, whole garlic heads, break them into cloves, then directly place them in a pretty container to grow hydroponically, adding water up to the roots of the garlic. They will sprout very quickly.

2. Spider plant

Everyone knows spider plants are very easy to grow, but some growers have still managed to kill them. Most households grow spider plants in soil, but they can actually be grown hydroponically too. Keep one in a transparent bottle, and whenever you see the water getting low, just top it up. You never have to worry about killing it again.

The method is to cut from a soil-grown spider plant a robust little offset with aerial roots, then simply insert it into water to grow. In only about 5 days, you will see the plant grow new white tender roots.

3. Sweet potato

Growing sweet potatoes hydroponically is especially simple. The lush green sweet potato leaves are not only nice to admire as a potted plant and can be trained into various shapes, but can also be eaten. The key is that they survive as soon as they touch water.

The method is to select a robust sweet potato. When growing hydroponically, do not submerge the whole sweet potato in water; the water should preferably not exceed 1/2 of the sweet potato, and give it plenty of sunlight.

4. Golden pothos

Golden pothos grown hydroponically is simply gorgeous and very easy to keep alive. When growing it in water, cut a stem with aerial roots and insert it into the water. In this season, be careful to spray water mist on the leaves often to keep them moist, which also makes them look even prettier.

5. Bamboo palm

Some growers like to grow lucky bamboo hydroponically, but I personally prefer bamboo palm. Bamboo palm is very suitable for indoor water culture. When you bring a bamboo palm home, first remove the lower leaves so they do not sit in the water, then place it in a transparent bottle with the water depth reaching about half of the bottle.
