Feel free to leave them in water, or plant in rich potting soil.įor care, with enough water and indirect bright light, these species will easily thrive, soil or no! Using cuttings to propagate your plants is a cheap and easy way to increase your plant collection, as well. Over time, the cuttings will begin to grow roots. Lots of tropical plants can be propagated through cuttings and kept alive in water, but some of the best species to do this include Split Leaf Philodendren, Monstera deliciosa “swiss cheese plant” (top vintage bottle), Tradescantia zebrina “Wandering Jew” (above) and Pothos (in amber glass also with Wandering Jew).įor the how-to, you couldn’t get much easier: simply snip off a vine, remove any bottom leaves, and submerge the stem in water. Today, we’re sharing some fabulous species of plants that thrive beautifully as plant cuttings in water. There are great ways to add that touch of life to your space with little effort.

These days, I haven’t found much more time and energy to care for plants, but I have just gotten smarter about it. My houseful of plants petered down to a decrepit looking jade plant, sitting alone and abandoned on my window sill. Post-kids, I didn’t want to have to take care of anything but those kiddos and some days I could barely do that. I would dust their leaves, test their soil, spritz and prune them daily, making them thrive. I had a whole houseful that I tended so diligently because they brought me such joy. When I was young, like pre-kids young, I surrounded myself with plants. Not needing to remember? That sounds about right up my alley! By adding plant cuttings to water, there’s no need to muss with dirt or remember watering.

Does this very white winter have you needing some green and color in your life? Look no farther for the easiest way to bring beautiful, modern, yet vintage plant charm to your space with absolutely no effort.
