This is an advantage of not having to manipulate dirty soil. You also don’t need to place a container under the hole to let the water drain out. And no need to water. Great idea!
When you said I could try this with a snake plant I got excited - my snake plant has babies growing off of it! Perfect opportunity to give this a try. Thank you for the clear instructions and advice
Very interesting video. The only plant I have grew in water is sweet potato slips. I put cuttings in water to root and then set them out in the garden, You did a great job explaining the care and what needs to be done on a regular basis. Thank you for a great video. Take care.
I have my syngonium in water for already a year. I fertilise once a month as these plants actually do not need that much fertiliser (every 10 days). I trim it sometimes and start the plant all over again to achieve a small and clean look.
I have a snake plant, spider plant, and a pythos vine thriving in water. Tap water at that. As soon as I put something in soil it dies. So this is the route for me. Now to figure of veggies 🤔
when I used to grow plants hydroponically I found foliar feeding was very beneficial to address nutrient defficiences. I enjoyed it verry much and only stopped due to fertalizer costs, nothin better then eating fresh veggies when it is -40 out side.
Cool "vases" and the hangers for them 😍I personally don't have any houseplants (unless chilies count 😃), but I know that my parents have a bunch of cuttings from a plant I can't remember the name of growing in water in drinking glass sized glass containers. I don't think they use any nutrient for them though 🤔 They seem to grow along nicely still.
What do you suggest to use to keep the plant from sinking down into the water?? I’m using some vases and crocks that I like looking at, and a wine glass, but the actual plant part needs a support to keep it propped up out of the water.
You can use plastic wrap and poke a hole in it for an easy fix, or you can also use glass stones or marbles in the water - but you do need to rinse them when you change the water
Thank you for your excellent videos...what kind of water do you use? What fertilizer do you recommend to add to the water? You have very beautiful plants.
So when converting a soil based plant to water, will the current soil roots rot out? Or how does that work. I tried this recently with an alocasia and when changing the water and cleaning the vase, I noticed some of the roots falling apart. So of course I repotted back in soil after cleaning the root system up and trimming back. I want to try again with another one to see if I can get this right lol
Yes, this happens. If the plant is small enough, you can rinse it in the sink with lukewarm water and rinse off any dead roots. I like to stay on top of this as the plant is transitioning. You should see new water roots emerging.
@@geekygreenhouse ahhh okay, so there will be roots rotting during the transition. I will try again and stay on top of it and power through the urge of potting in soil to save it lmao thank you!
Yes absolutely. Some plants (like spider plants and calathea) are more sensitive to unfiltered tap water. They’ll show this with browning at the tips of their leaves. But tap water is perfectly fine.
Your very clear directions and explanations give me and my brown thumb the courage to give this a try. Thank you.
That's why I do it. My brown thumb over waters plants any ways.

Thanks for the advices. I'm moving to stay in the city soon, looking forward to planting some indoor plants to decorate my room
Thank you so much for your information. I very much appreciate it.

I grow my monstera thai constellstion in hydroponic and it works great. :)
Extremely helpful especially for those who travel alot
Thank You BEAUTIFUL ONE❤❤❤

This video is exactly what I was looking for
Wow Thank you for the facts 💯!

What about during the fall and winter? Do you ever fertilize them?
I have a snake plant, spider plant, and a pythos vine thriving in water. Tap water at that. As soon as I put something in soil it dies. So this is the route for me. Now to figure of veggies 🤔
Are they propagations? The only plants that I have in water were moved from soil. Many of them died of shock
@@Sylphadora my snake plant was moved from soil. Pythons and spider plants are propagations

hydrogen peroxide is my suggestion to dilute and clean things up vs soap( I had better luck keeping alge at bay)
Wow nice plants
this was interesting/ thank you for the video
Thanks for the tips I will try large Mason jars .
I think soil is messy
Water should be better
Let me give it a try 🤠
Love this! ❤ do you just clean the algae off the roots?
Yes, just gently rinse them off occasionally when you’re cleaning the vessels!
Where did you get the propagation wall decor?

What's the nutrition that you give them?

I think mine keep doing on me because they’re not cuttings. I transfer from soil to water. Maybe that shocks the plant.
Is it required to feed the plants with the nutrients? Can't I just simply keep them in the water?
Can you grow aloe in volcanic rock without soil?
5:31 she FINALLY tells us how.
Mine are going mushy
Please help me grow my plant someone just gave to me today! A ivy plant Yeah!

I grow marijuana hydroponically for 30 years now I use clay pellets I find soil to be a pian in the a$$
How do you start tho? How do I get my seeds started
