How to Propagate Pothos by Water Cuttings and the Best Easy-Care Indoor Water-Grown Plants
In recent years, compared with the traditional method of growing plants in soil, water-grown plants have become more popular. The reason is that soil-grown plants are rather heavy to move around in daily life, and relatively speaking, water-grown plants are easier to keep hygienic and save you the trouble of changing the soil. So can we also make our own water-grown plants at home? The answer is of course yes. Let us find out together below. In fact, making water-grown plants at home is very simple. You just need to cut a section of stem from any green plant and put it in water and it will take root.
Pothos
I believe many plant lovers have kept pothos at home. It is shade-tolerant and drought-tolerant, and has low requirements for its growing environment. It can grow well even in weak indoor light, making it very suitable for busy modern people to care for. The leaves of pothos are emerald green and it also has the effect of purifying the air.
The methods for growing pothos in water generally include the cutting method and the fine-root method. The former is the method most used at home. The specific steps are to find the node area on a long branch (leave 1-2 nodes) and shorten the branch. When cutting, try to make a diagonal cut, and look for a branch with more leaves. Finally, put it into a container filled with water. During care, place it in a warm spot with scattered light, and after 2 weeks it will grow white roots on its own.
Pennywort
It is a green plant shaped like ancient Chinese coins, and its symbolism is very good, carrying the auspicious meaning of attracting wealth and gathering fortune. Placing it at home can greatly enhance the atmosphere of the space. The methods for growing pennywort in water generally include the cutting method and the double-pot method. At home, the transplanting method is mostly used. The specific operation is to dig out several sections of stems with roots from the pennywort pot, wash them clean with running water after digging them out, and finally put them into a filled container to grow.
Ivy
It can be called an evergreen trailing vine plant. Hanging it in front of a window looks as beautiful as a green waterfall.
There is only one method for growing it in water. First, there is no limit on the length of the cut branches, as long as they are kept at more than 10cm. After that, put them into a filled container to grow.
