Selecting suitable plants: Not all plants are suitable for propagation in water. It is important to choose plants that have the ability to develop roots in water. Some popular plants for propagation in water include Pothos, Philodendrons, Peperomias and many varieties of succulents.

Preparation of cuttings: Select a healthy mother plant and take cuttings approximately 10-15 centimeters in length. Be sure to cut just below a node (the place where the leaves attach to the stem). Remove the lower leaves to prevent them from rotting in the water.

Placement in water: Fill a clean glass jar with filtered water or tap water let sit for 24 hours to remove chlorine. Place the cuttings in the water, making sure at least a couple of nodes are submerged. Avoid submerging the leaves in water, as they may rot.

Proper maintenance:Place the jar in a warm and bright place, but avoid direct sunlight. Be sure to change the water every two days to keep it fresh and bacteria-free. Watch for root growth, which usually occurs within a few weeks.

Transplant into soil: Once the roots have grown enough (approximately 2-3 centimeters), it is time to transplant the cuttings into pots with suitable soil for their continued growth. Handle the cuttings carefully to avoid damaging the roots and place them in the soil.

Propagating plants in water is an exciting and rewarding way to expand your houseplants. With a little patience and care, you can enjoy the process of watching your cuttings grow into independent plants with strong roots. Dare to try this method and enjoy the pleasure of growing your own plants at home!
