<\/a><\/p>\nPhoto:\u00a0PohKim<\/a> via Adobe Stock<\/em><\/p>\n The first time I propagated a houseplant was completely by accident. While combing through the tendrils of my string of pearls plant (it\u2019s oddly therapeutic), a few strings of said pearls popped right off. Not wanting to chuck them in the compost bin, I grabbed a vintage glass bottle and filled it with water, allowing the roots to sit in it while the rest of the pearls cascaded gracefully over the side. It looked, as Lizzo would say, good as hell.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Pinterest\u2019s November insights, searches for \u201cindoor water gardens\u201d \u2014 aka houseplants you can propagate in water or grow entirely underwater \u2014 have spiked 334 percent year-over-year. Style them with rocks, marimo moss ball or fish friends. And if you\u2019re looking to grow your collection of houseplants, you can repot the cuttings in soil once they\u2019ve begun to sprout roots in water.<\/p>\n Here, Pinterest has identified the top six houseplants that thrive in water. Scroll on to find out if any of your faves made the list.<\/p>\n\n Photo:\u00a0plantmom.iysh\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Fiddle leaf fig trees can be finicky, but propagating their stem cuttings is fairly easy. It will likely take about a month for it to begin sprouting roots, so patience is key! Once you\u2019ve got substantial growth in the roots, you can transfer the cutting into soil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0mopamoco\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n I live in a cave\/apartment that receives hardly any sunlight and my pothos is still kickin\u2019. When you snip off the vines of these hardy houseplants, make sure to cut them into individual stems, just below the root nodes (those brown stubby things).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0thriftysucculents\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Succulents are most often propagated in soil, but you can also give water a whirl. Suspend the cuttings in the air, over a water source, so the roots grow gradually towards that H<\/span>2<\/span>O. Here\u2019s a quick <\/span>video tutorial<\/span><\/a> using only a mason jar, plastic wrap and a toothpick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0mulhalls\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n I know what you\u2019re thinking \u2014 snake plants basically hate being watered, they love it when you go away on vacation and just leave them the hell alone. But the water propagation process for snake plants is easy peasy. Just remember to let the tip of the leaf cutting callous for a few days before placing it upright in a glass of water.<\/span><\/p>\n Photo:\u00a0sproutingplants\/Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n For me, no visit to IKEA is complete without snapping up a stalk of lucky bamboo. This plant is ridiculously easy to grow in water \u2014 I like to display it in a clear glass <\/span>KORKEN<\/span><\/a> bottle, also from IKEA. Replace the water (preferably distilled or left out overnight to remove any additives) every seven to ten days.<\/span><\/p>\n1.\u00a0Fiddle leaf plant<\/a><\/b>,\u00a0 +2476% year-over-year<\/b><\/h2>\n
