15 plants that can grow just in water

Transitioning plants to water-based growth involves carefully removing the plant from soil and washing the roots to remove any debris. Once clean, place the plant in a container with water, ensuring the roots are submerged. It’s important to use clean, non-chlorinated water and to change it regularly to prevent stagnation and promote healthy growth.

To maintain healthy water-grown plants, ensure they receive adequate light, either natural or artificial. Regularly change the water to prevent stagnation and provide fresh nutrients. Monitor the plants for signs of stress, such as yellowing leaves, and adjust the light or water conditions as needed. Adding a liquid fertilizer can also help provide essential nutrients.

Common challenges with water-grown plants include root rot, algae growth, and nutrient deficiencies. To prevent root rot, ensure the water is changed regularly and the container is clean. Algae growth can be minimized by using opaque containers or placing the plant in indirect light. If nutrient deficiencies occur, consider adding a liquid fertilizer to the water.
