Introduction
Bringing nature indoors doesn’t have to involve soil and heavy pots.

Whether you’re looking for an easy way to freshen up your space or love the idea of a low-maintenance indoor garden, these ten water-growing plants will enhance your home’s ambiance.

Ingredients (Materials Needed):
A glass jar, vase, or container
Clean, chlorine-free water (filtered or left out overnight)
Healthy plant cuttings or bulbs
A sharp knife or scissors
Optional: liquid plant fertilizer
Instructions:
Choose Your Plant or Flower

Pick a plant known to grow well in water, such as pothos, lucky bamboo, or hyacinths.
Prepare the Cuttings or Bulbs

Trim a healthy stem cutting (4–6 inches long) just below a leaf node. Remove any leaves that will be submerged.
Place in Water

Fill your container with water and place the cutting or bulb inside, ensuring only the stem or roots are submerged.
Provide Proper Light

Keep the container in a well-lit area with indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, as it may encourage algae growth.
Change Water Regularly

Refresh the water every 5–7 days to prevent bacteria buildup and keep the plant thriving.
Add Fertilizer (Optional)

If the plant needs extra nutrients, add a drop of liquid fertilizer every few weeks.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Placement: Arrange your water-grown plants in different rooms to enjoy their natural fragrance and purifying benefits.
Water Quality: Always use clean, dechlorinated water to keep your plants healthy.
Longevity: Some plants may need occasional trimming or replanting into the soil after a few months.
