You often worry about what kind of soil to use for houseplants and how much water. But it is very easy to grow houseplants in just water. Hydroculture, which is very common in Europe, is a means of growing plants in water with a complex; i.e. stones and stones. However, it is also possible to grow some houseplants in just water without using any type of aggregate. No matter how you choose to grow plants in water, you will be amazed at the variety of plants that will adapt to any water environment. You only need to use your imagination when choosing items and aggregate (if you so desire) to create living works of art in your home . .
Plants
Almost any houseplant can be adapted to a water environment; although some families are easier than others. Pothos of the vine (Epipremnum). [See: Pothos Vine] Other vines that do well are various Tradescantias (such as the wandering Jew and the silver and green white ‘Albovittata’) and some philodendrons (for example the heart-shaped philodendron). I have also had the most success with the sago vine (Syngonium podophyllum). All these vines will grow well in just water or in aggregates.
For a simpler plant form, consider the umbrella plant (Cypress alternifolius ‘Graciis’). In nature, the umbrella plant grows in moist, turbulent conditions, which makes it a logical choice for a modern aquatic garden. . Do not confuse the umbrella plant with what some call umbrella (Schefflera). There are two different herbs; however, you might also decide to try to grow a schefflera in water too. My daughter, for example, took a section from one of hers a few months ago and still put it on the floor. It grows quite successfully in just water.
Feel free to try any variety of plants. You can also try to grow candied sweet potatoes in water. I recommend using only cuttings or plants already growing in water, however, rather than trying to adapt your existing ones. plants that are watered in the soil. Plants form different roots for soil than they do for water and moving them from soil to water requires some preparation. That is in another article at another time.
Vasa
You want to provide your hosts with containers that will support them and their root systems. These should not be large. I often recycle empty wine bottles to use for my potions and other vines. You can use any bottle or jar while saving at the same time.
Glass containers and vessels are suitable for tied aquatic plants. They come in various shapes and sizes and match any decor. In addition, the roots look more artistically born in water. If you want to use some type of aggregate, you can choose stones or pebbles that match the colors in your home.
Clay pots are also good choices for your houseplants. In fact, you can use any container that holds water. Just use your mind.
Congregation
If you want to use aggregate for containers, you must first cover the bottom of your container with some aggregate. You will then add a section of your house plant, after which you will fill in with the rest of the aggregate. You want to do this rather loosely so that the roots will have a place to form. Then water your vessel. Very rarely aggregated. But it works well in taller plants; e.g., providing them with more support for umbrella plants.
Care
There is really very little care when growing houseplants in water. You must keep the container filled with water of course. However, you probably won’t need to add water until every 2-3 weeks. In addition, you give them the opportunity to water-dissolved fertilizers – about every 4-6 months. You can now mist them and just clean the leaves. That’s it. In water is a great idea for people who don’t seem to have time to care for houseplants or who think they can’t grow anything.
