What types of Indoor plants can I grow in water?

No soil? No worries.Plenty of popular houseplants are happy growing in just water—yep, no potting mix needed! Think Pothos, Philodendron and Chlorophytum for super easy care—they root fast and keep on growing with barely any fuss. Peace lilies and Agalaonema also make the switch from soil to water like pros. Want a splash of colour? Add some Syngonium, Anthurium, or Maranta to your collection. Simple, beautiful and mess-free.

How do you grow plants in water in glass containers?

Growing indoor plants in water is a simple, low-maintenance way to green up your space—no soil required! Just take a healthy plant cutting, place it in a clear glass jar or vase with the root nodes submerged, and pop it in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. For a more advanced setup, try semi-hydroponics using LECA (lightweight clay balls) and a water reservoir—perfect for improving airflow and reducing root rot. Whether you're using plain water or going semi-hydro, be sure to change the water weekly or top up the reservoir to keep your plant babies thriving. It's clean, stylish, and perfect for small spaces or beginner plant parents.

What containers can I use to grow plants in water?

You can get creative when growing plants in water—if it holds water and looks cute, it’s fair game! Glass jars, vases, test tubes, old wine bottles, teacups, or even recycled candle holders all do the trick. Clear containers are great for watching roots grow (and checking water levels), but coloured glass helps block out sunlight and keeps algae at bay. Just make sure the opening isn’t too wide—your cutting should stay upright without falling in. It’s a fun, fuss-free way to show off your plant cuttings and upcycle at the same time!

Great plants arrived in good shape. Only disappointment is my water plants are all the same color, I would have liked the pink coloured plant displayed in the photo just to add a splash of different color for my window sill, unfortunately I don’t think I can pick my own plants you just get what is chosen for you. Great customer service.

Enjoy your window sill greenery!

Healthy and happy plants!

I was very happy with my box of 4 plants that grow in water. They were packaged well, and were very healthy looking - especially after I put them into their new 'homes' - aka pretty bottles!
I was so excited to see a week later that the spider plant had flowered! Very happy with my purchase 😃

We're so thrilled to hear your Box Of Houseplants arrived in great condition and you're loving how healthy they look in their new bottle homes! How exciting that your spider plant flowered so quickly - that's always such a wonderful surprise! 😊

Love them

I have bought 2 boxes of indoor water plants. They grow quickly and people love to comment how interesting they look. They make great presents for those who love their indoor plants but over kill with kindness or just want low maintenance and bug free options

Aww this is so lovely and look at them! Thank you for your photos and writing such a beautiful review it means so much.

I'm impressed with the service & quality ❤️

Oh this is making us blush now! thank you

Arrived in good condition

Plants arrived quickly and in good condition. They are for an indoor acquascape water fountain and seem to be doing very well. Very happy with plants and service but would like a reduction in the number of emails to about 1 a week rather than daily. :)

Such quick turnaround time

Intrigued that these plants could be grown in water. Beautiful way to use some glass bowls I hadn't been using. I Have had them for about 3wks and still going strong. When placing the order (late at night) I forgot to mention that I needed Pet Friendly plants, and by the time I sent off an email my plants had already been packed and were on their way. Selection did include 2 plants that are known to be toxic to pets - I gifted the Peace Lily to a friend and the Golden Pathos I have placed well out of reach.

Plants arrived in very good order and are thriving.
