Don't fret about the one that you can't get out of the bottle. Just lay the bottle down, put a towel over it and gently hit with a hammer until the bottle breaks. I have done it and the roots are usually fine and then you can put it in a larger mouth bottle. Lots of luck and thanks for your vids.
I love your ideas for growing plants in nice clean water, rather than taking a chance on diseases that may be lurking in soil. Thank you very much for sharing!
I know this was from 2 years ago, and you might not get it, but I just found you on TH-cam and am thoroughly enjoying learning from you. I now have a Peace Lily growing in water and am looking around for others house plants to put into water. I have a wall of windows facing North and a garden window facing East. Between those two places my plant seem to grow well. I usually give them some acclimation time in the East window and then repot them and move them to the North window. We've had some problems with Fungus Gnats in my Vermiculture container (where my worms are taking our kitchen scraps and turning them into castings). They usually like to go into my plants but liked what food I had for the worms better. I'm looking forward to having a few more plants in water and the other plants with the clay balls on top so the mother gnat can't reach the soil. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing all your knowledge with us!! I'm even going to try the painted jar with the tape on one side so I can look in and see how much water is still in there. Genius idea!! Also, so I don't have to clean out the green "slime" from my clear containers of the ones I've been trying to propagate by having them in water and getting their roots going. I look forward to watching more of your channel. (I haven't stopped to look and see if you're still posting - I hope so!! Cheers! Lois
Thanks so much!! I was at the Mall picking up Jewelry that was being repaired and the owner gave me large clippings from her Beautiful Aglanema Silver Bay and Schefflera Umbrella Tree plants that I was admiring. She told me I could procreate them. I found your video and THANKS!!🌱🍃🌿💚 UPDATE::: My Umbrella plant and my Chinese Evergreen (silver Bay) are doing AWESOME! They took about 2 mths to develop strong roots. I then decided to grow them in Leca and both plants are really Thriving! Thanks again for teaching me how it's done! 🍃🌱🌿💚

Most of my cuttings have been going in top of my aquarium over last few years. They love it. I also water my plants with the water change, i now have green fingers
I've been growing pothos in 2 of my aquariums. They're very reliable plant in sucking extra nutrients in aquarium water that can be dangerous to fishes.
hello guys i am an agriculture student and i made a list of 39 indoor ornamental plants, thanks for checking out: th-cam.com/video/w9Vdo5mqrx4/w-d-xo.html
I've had 2 sets of pothos growing in my windowless office in water for about 4 years. I do put in half a plant food stick once a year. I will have to try the agloamena in water. Thanks!!!
The plant you called a Peace Lily, was an Anthurium. I have a potful of it. The first Anthurium I was given, was in a tall, clear glass vase, with the brown pebbles (not sure which way you spell lyca). It did very well in water, and bloomed several times throughout the year. I also have a Peace Lily plant. The leaves are dark green, long and narrow.
Thanks for sharing...Now, I feel more confident I'll try to plant them in water...besides, I saw u using bottles as I don't just throw them. Keep safe and God bless...
I always do this with my aloe vera plants. They grow massive roots in water. Obviously you can't keep aloes in water forever, but anytime I have one that is dying I bring it back to life by putting in water .
That’s a great trick! 😊 I never seem to have good luck with aloe vera, they always seem to turn mushy on me but I’ll try it again soon 😊 thanks for watching!
This is so amazing. We do have some of these plants but growing them only in soil and keep them away from full sunlight. I have not tried growing any in water but seeing your video, I definitely will do it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this info. I've have some plants that you have mentioned that I didn't know that they can thrive in water. Looking forward for more videos.
The plant in your glass jar you'll have to break it up to rejar it ! Thanks for sharing I'm obsessed with house plants and roses ! I found that propagating plants is more easily done by trimming the bottom end then dipping them in rooting hormone and then placing them in a pot of soil and jar over them. The plastic bottle or plastic container always rotted them. And one bouquet of rose flowers I actually just put rooting powder and made holes with a hard straw then put the plants in and out of 12 only one died. All remaining rose stems are rooted great and better looking with the full stem sprouting new leafs. After 4 years of trying I finally nailed rooting plants !!!!
Hi Erica! I really like your plant videos. They're simple and easy to understand, and you make plant-raising less daunting for a new plant parent like me! ,😊
I learned a lot about plants that I've already had and some that I would love to try. I've tried growing a lot of plants in water but I never knew how much water to grow them in and some other tips that I learned.
Could you share your experience you have had so far… Like how much water How long to change water Any tap water would do or not? Any tips to avoid failure?? Thanks
Thank you Ma'am Erica, for sharing this kind of plants, which is suitable in water to grow. Watching from Phil. More power to your channel & God bless as well...
I love watching your video mam. That is what i'm looking for. How to grow plants in water. May i ask if there's any fertilizer you put in water? Your plants grow beautifully.
What you called a peace lily is actually a anthurium plant. They both flower, sort of. Anthuriums flowers are slightly different. Great video and very helpful.
I do a lot of water propagation for rooting my cuttings and then transfer them to soil. I loved your tip of leaving unsprayed paint patch on the bottle. I will do same. Have u tried growing syngonium in water? Can we replace clay balls with cocopeat? Is it really possible to grow plants in water FOREVER ? What is the longest you have grown a single plant in water ? Sorry to bombard you with questions 😁but response will be appreciated 😃😘. Thanks
Thank you so much for this informative video. I paused and did some of these things as I went along! Very excited to try this as we've just moved into our place and pots are so expensive. Also loved the tip for spray painting the glass containers and leaving a window...brilliant! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us....
Really enjoyed the video.. I'm using live plants in my aquariums, right now I have pothos and I actually have a friend of mine who grows impatiens in his Aquarium 👍🌿🌿🙏
Oh the umbrella plant 😅 I bought one and it wasn't doing too well even took it back to the center I got it from and they told me to let it dry out but it only got worse so I cut off two stems ( everything else looked like root rot) and they now have roots! I don't have high expectations but it's nice to know that it is still living
Yay! Happy and excited your umbrella plant is now doing well 😊 Just give it lots of sunlight and some air circulation and it will be thriving in no time at all 😊
@@EricabyDesign thanks for your response! I will move it to any area with a little more light. Do you think I will actually see growth in the actual like new leaves or just a better root system?
Loved your video. So informative. Please could you do an in-depth video on caring for Frangipani trees, proper soil for them and general care. Thank you x
We’ve been having issues with our basil so I’ll use your pot idea! We love Basil snd cool with it often so we were so upset this year when ours started looking bad.
Thank you for this! I grow plants out of the tops of my aquariums. The roots on the first plant are amazing!! Thank you for these lovely ideas! Can’t wait to share this with my fish keeping friends! Have a great day!
Hello Erica, I found this video is helpful for my choice of choosing a plant. However, I’m in Seattle area where is chill and very low sunlight most of the days of the year. I wonder what are the choices you mentioned in the video required very low sunlight also. Thanks. (Btw, I love that you are reusing all different bottles )
Thank you! 😊 The anthurium, snake plant, pothos can all thrive in low light. The philodendron wend imbe is a good low light plant but I’m unsure how common it is in other parts of the world. Aglaonema can survive in low light but tends to lose it color on the leaves so bring it outdoors for sunshine once a week and it will keep its color 😊 hope this helps!
Hi! Thanks for sharing this. I have good experience with snake plants at low light. And they are easily available even on big box stores at low cost. Happy planting
I don't get good sunlight either but I have my plants by my lamp, works fine. My plants doing are great . Try it out and try in water better than soil ( for any pothos) no special bulb either , whatever bulb u have will work
@@EricabyDesign Hi Erica, this is all new to me. I've ordered the LECA, but it will be a few days before it arrives. I told my plants orof their soil today, gently rinsed the roots and places in jars of just water, some with a few stones to help hold the plants better. Will they be ok? I mean do I need to cut all of their previous roots off first? I don't want to do some cuttings, but actually transfer the whole plant entirely. How would I do that?
Hello Erica, and thank you for sharing this video, I’m new in your TH-cam and I’m so happy I came across to your video ✨ it’s what I been looking for regardless to plan house plants 🪴 in these round rock that you just show us.

re: algae growing in the clear jars-- I mostly keep aquatic plants and we often use liquid carbon to combat algae. it shouldn't harm most plants-- in my experience it only negatively affects "primitive" plants like mosses, and some floating plants. a few drops of Seachem Excel in the water might combat your algae problem easily, though I'd of course start light in case you see any adverse effects.
Exactly. And also switching the water often can help. There is really no need to spray-paint clear jars, cause roots need indirect sunlight to grow healthy.
hello guys i am an agriculture student and i made a list of 39 indoor ornamental plants, thanks for checking out: th-cam.com/video/w9Vdo5mqrx4/w-d-xo.html
@@roselynmvm why would roots need direct sunlight when growing in water-when roots are able to grow beneath soil where they don’t get light? The sunlight comes into the plant from the top of the plant, not from the roots. Am I missing something??
@@Danielle-nz9tn yes, you’re missing something very important: we were talking about cuttings/young plants that are in process of growing for the first time, not full grown plants. But regardless, any plant if they’re in water INSTEAD of soil, then low light on roots is necessary.
Your plants are beautiful. Thanx for all the tips. Where do you get the containers with openings to grow the plants that you put in the jar. Would love to know. Thankyou
Hi edagdwg thanks you tube for shearing this story of what happens when you enjoy seeing your plants grow up in water love having plants Linda in water planting is fun
How do you know which black basket pots to buy so they fit in your jars? Is it just through trial and error and experimenting with different sizes? For the algae, I always find that it grows much more quickly in tap water with all the minerals and nutrients that it contains. If you try rainwater or filtered water it might help reduce algae as well as reducing the sunlight that goes to the glass jar.
Thank you! Just wash off the soil from the roots, or leave the roots in water until all the soil comes off so as not to stress the plant. Then you can just put it in water and the plant will start to grow water roots and adapt to living in a water environment. 😊
thanks for your video, i just noticed that plants using water for propagation, plants prefer mineral water , than ordinary from faucet because it usually have mixed with chlorine , so everytime i want flowers to grow i use mineral water the effect is much better and grows faster .
Hi Erica and thank you for sharing, all of your plants are SO pretty!! I have a Red Siam Aglaeonema cutting in water, and for cuttings in soil and the one in water is actually thriving better than the ones in soil and, so I'll be transferring them, as well as my Peace Lily and Anthuriums in water!! I also grow Pothos in water!!❤🥰
If you transition it back into soil then you have to keep the soil very moist for 2-3 weeks to help the roots adapt back to soil. Sphagnum moss/peat would be the better medium for the transition. Then you can start diminishing the water. Hope this makes sense.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have most of the plants you showed and only a snake plant in water. Unfortunately it has not grown a bit! Yet, it hangs on. 🙁 I’m now excited to do some cuttings and start some new plants. 😊 I also have some leca but Im not sure how to use it. Do you ass enough water to cover the leca or keep the level below?
you're plants look great and i'd love to try more of mine in water...i can't seem to keep dumb cane alive...too much water, too little water, i've tried everything---perhaps i'll try it in water....thanks for your video!
that's really cool these plants can grow just in water, but what concern I have for them is, how do you feed them? What fertilizer do you use to feed these plants? Btw you have gorgeous plants!
So glad to fine you. I am thankful and very excited to try your method growing plants in a water This will be my first . Do u add fertilizer in the water and how often do u change the water. Ty
Great video just subscribed and these are also great plant ideas for patio ponds or inside Beta bowls or other air breathing fish or aquariums in general...I have a few growing in my aquariums now...less water changes and good water parameters consistently.
Yes I noticed that too I do same thing I reused them. U r very creative. Love ur plants I’ll start propagating now in water. Thanks for this very nice informations.
Thank you so much Erica, I really really enjoyed watching you tell us all about growing plants and cutting in water. So useful and helpful too. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too

I've been growing pothos in 2 of my aquariums. They're very reliable plant in sucking extra nutrients in aquarium water that can be dangerous to fishes.
I believe what you mean is that the Pothos is a good plant to remove Nitrates and Nitrites from your aquarium, not nutrients. 😉

@@Danielle-nz9tn yes, you’re missing something very important: we were talking about cuttings/young plants that are in process of growing for the first time, not full grown plants. But regardless, any plant if they’re in water INSTEAD of soil, then low light on roots is necessary.
Thank you for the tips ma'am. I'll try my aglaonema to propagate on water because garden soil is expensive in our place.
I like the color its beautiful. Interesting I thought never grow in water. That's good news I can use water instead of soil.
OMG i love them all. They look sooo nice. Just notice that plant's roots are green, I live in Thailand and all roots are brown 😆
Hi! How do you prevent mosquitoes from breeding in your jars? Do you put anything in the water? Thanks!
there's an anti mosquitoes palletes called Abate. completely harmless to the plants
Just keep change water in 3 days
changing the water frequently, rinsing your stems & roots, and washing the jars (with soap) should prevent this from happening
I change water.
Mosquito bits work and last forever. Safe for plants and pets and cheap
Where did you get the plastic net or container that you have inside the glass bottles. Very informative video and thank you.
Your plants are beautiful. Thanx for all the tips. Where do you get the containers with openings to grow the plants that you put in the jar. Would love to know. Thankyou
Hi edagdwg thanks you tube for shearing this story of what happens when you enjoy seeing your plants grow up in water love having plants Linda in water planting is fun
How do you know which black basket pots to buy so they fit in your jars? Is it just through trial and error and experimenting with different sizes? For the algae, I always find that it grows much more quickly in tap water with all the minerals and nutrients that it contains. If you try rainwater or filtered water it might help reduce algae as well as reducing the sunlight that goes to the glass jar.
thank you for your sharing. May I know how to maintain them to avoid mosquitos?
I just love your videos. Healthy plants. Now how do I transition my peace lily from soil into water. Good job
Thank you! Just wash off the soil from the roots, or leave the roots in water until all the soil comes off so as not to stress the plant. Then you can just put it in water and the plant will start to grow water roots and adapt to living in a water environment. 😊

Beautiful plants grown n water thanks for sharing
@@learnorigami23.
Wow..Amazing beautiful plants grown in water.New friend here greetings from Riyadh.Stay connected and see you around.Thank you for sharing.
How many times you change the water? You had beautiful plants
What kind of water can I use. My water here has too many chemicals. Thanks for all the great info
Perhaps you could collect rainwater. I use it for some of my more sensitive plants.
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection
Also can you show us how you spray paint your bottle? That is very neat!!
Just need a spray bottle and some newspaper on a sunny day! 😊
thanks for your video, i just
noticed that plants using
water for propagation, plants
prefer mineral water , than
ordinary from faucet because
it usually have mixed with chlorine , so everytime i want
flowers to grow i use mineral
water the effect is much
better and grows faster .
Hi , i have question. Do we need to change water every time or duration. How often
Out of the fish hobby! The next one is because I love plants. Thanks for opening my eyes
Excellent video. Do you think I can use coco coir and pumice separately as growing mediums instead of sphagnum moss? I will try the water option. TFS.
Yes both of those growing mediums work well 😊 I sometimes prefer pumice as a growing medium to LECA.
Hi Erica and thank you for sharing, all of your plants are SO pretty!! I have a Red Siam Aglaeonema cutting in water, and for cuttings in soil and the one in water is actually thriving better than the ones in soil and, so I'll be transferring them, as well as my Peace Lily and Anthuriums in water!! I also grow Pothos in water!!❤🥰
ive just placed some pothos trimmings in one of my fish tanks a few days ago and I can see its already going roots!
That’s my biggest problem in the house the tiny flies but now I’m going to love to transfer my plants into the water especially now it’s winter
If you transition it back into soil then you have to keep the soil very moist for 2-3 weeks to help the roots adapt back to soil. Sphagnum moss/peat would be the better medium for the transition. Then you can start diminishing the water. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for the info!
Hi Ma'am your plants are so nice. Where can I buy that small pot inside the jar? Thnk you so much.
Wow seeing your aglaonema growing healthy in water, makes me wanna give it a go myself! Thank you
Hellow very interesting to learn this can grow on water.thanks for sharing wanna try this.keep it up
Thank you for sharing this video. I have most of the plants you showed and only a snake plant in water. Unfortunately it has not grown a bit! Yet, it hangs on. 🙁 I’m now excited to do some cuttings and start some new plants. 😊 I also have some leca but Im not sure how to use it. Do you ass enough water to cover the leca or keep the level below?
ĺ0ppppĺĺppppppppppp0
This is good for our guidance as a flower enthusiast
you're plants look great and i'd love to try more of mine in water...i can't seem to keep dumb cane alive...too much water, too little water, i've tried everything---perhaps i'll try it in water....thanks for your video!
I have mine in water! It's happy.
that's really cool these plants can grow just in water, but what concern I have for them is, how do you feed them? What fertilizer do you use to feed these plants?
Btw you have gorgeous plants!
Thank you so much for your videos it was very helpful I just needed to know what kind of paint did you spray your bottles with
Acrylic enamel paint I got from the hardware store. It’s not really permanent but it works good enough on glass 😊
So glad to fine you. I am thankful and very excited to try your method growing plants in a water This will be my first . Do u add fertilizer in the water and how often do u change the water. Ty
Erica on the Pothos Plant: "This is an impossible plant to kill". Me: "I've killed so many 😢"
😂👍
Omg, same here
😂😂
Try snake plant lol
and it's always from overwatering
Thanks friend for sharing.
Great video just subscribed and these are also great plant ideas for patio ponds or inside Beta bowls or other air breathing fish or aquariums in general...I have a few growing in my aquariums now...less water changes and good water parameters consistently.
Yes I noticed that too I do same thing I reused them. U r very creative. Love ur plants I’ll start propagating now in water. Thanks for this very nice informations.
Where do you buy those net pots and do you use any sort of ph solution to keep the plants in while growing in leca?
Thank you so much Erica, I really really enjoyed watching you tell us all about growing plants and cutting in water. So useful and helpful too. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too
Having a wider surface area also allows more oxygen in the container.
nice plants mayroon ako lahat
did you use just plain water for the leca? did you have any fertilizer of some sort to put in the water?
Am so glad to have found your channel, I've been wanting to grow snake plant in water, thanks for sharing. I found this only today, and right away, tried a leaf of the snake plant. Thank you!
Hello i am new to your channel yoou have a nice plants.. how many days do you change the water?
3 to 4 days
This is very helpful. Thanks! What type of plant food do you use? And how often?
