Plants you can grow in water - Money Plant
The Money Plant can happily live in water for a very long time. In today's video, I'll explain how to make your plant live and thrive in water. The Money Plant, or Plectranthus verticillatus, is an African plant found all over the world. It's very easy to care for and very hardy. It's said that if you're given a cutting and the plant thrives, you'll never lack money. It also brings good luck to the home. This plant broke, and I simply put it in water. If you want to do it properly, you should select a cutting with a few leaves and a little over 5 cm of stem. Put it in water, and roots will start to appear in about a week. After that, you can leave it in water longer or plant it in soil. It's a very easy plant to propagate, so you can always have your home decorated with new plants in water.
How to care for plants in water: Plants grown in water grow more slowly than those in soil. It's possible that in some plants the green color will lighten slightly and the leaves will separate more.
Caring for your plants in water is really simple; you just need to refill the container with water as it evaporates. You can change the water every three months and rinse the roots to remove any mold that may form, as mold prevents the plant from absorbing the nutrients it needs from the water.
As I mentioned before, for plants with aerial roots, you should cut the stem a few centimeters below the aerial root. For plants without roots, simply cut the stem straight across and leave it in water.
You can add stones to the glass jar if you like, for decoration.
In my opinion, the best material for holding your plants in water is glass. Dark glass is best, but since I like to see the roots when they emerge, I always use clear glass jars or bottles. I find them more hygienic. Although you can also use plastic bottles or jars—I've used them too and they work well—as long as it's not too hot, since plastic can leach toxic substances into the water.
What I don't recommend is using clay jars that haven't been treated with some kind of sealant, as the water evaporates very quickly.
