Propagating plants in water is a simple yet highly effective method of plant multiplication that involves placing a cutting, usually with a node or aerial root, into a container of clean water to encourage root development. Whether used for tropical ornamentals or common houseplants, propagating plants in water offers a natural, accessible way to propagate a plant without the need for complex tools or growing mediums. The team Greenhouse Plants is here to guide you.
Which Plants Thrive When Propagated in Water?
Are you wondering which varieties respond well to this technique? Several plant species are particularly suited for water propagation:
- Monstera
- Pothos (Epipremnum aureum)
- Philodendron
- Tradescantia
- Syngonium
- Ficus elastica (rubber plant)
To ensure success, it’s important to submerge at least one node under water, as this is where new roots will emerge. Regularly refreshing the water helps prevent bacterial buildup and root rot. Once the roots are well established, the plant can be transferred into a soil-based substrate or hydroponic setup for continued growth. This method not only simplifies propagation but aligns well with other types of propagation used in both home and commercial settings.
