10 Plants That You Can Grow in Jars of Water at Home

Would you like to grow your favorite plants in the house, but you don't want to bring all that land that leaves behind an indescribable mess? We will present you with 10 plants that can be grown in the water right in your own home. Whether you live at home or in an apartment, these plants only need water, light, and heat.

What do you need?

First of all, containers that do not allow water to flow. It is very important to use strong containers, and the jars are the most suitable in this case.

Then water. Avoid using chlorinated water or chemicals. Springwater is best for growing these plants because it contains the minerals they need.

Last but not least, the plants you will grow. You will see that if for some a freshly cut twig is enough, for others the plant already grown separately in the ground is needed.

Tomatoes

Place the already grown seedlings in individual soil supports. The seeds alone will not grow in water.

Mint

Mint is one of the most popular medicinal plants. If you want fresh mint all the time, just put a sprig of chopped mint in the water container. This does not require special attention.

Basil

Basil will like the warmth of your home and will grow harmoniously in the water as long as it has plenty of light. Our advice is to cut it whenever you see that it has little left and blooms. This prolongs its life.

Stevia

In the case of stevia, the procedure is the same as in the case of mint. Put a freshly cut twig in the pot with water and make sure it has enough heat and light to grow harmoniously.

Thyme

If you want thyme to grow in water, make sure the thyme twig you have is young (it should be light green). Old branches usually develop harder or not at all.

You can do this in May-July, before the plant blooms. After cutting the twig, immediately put it in water, as it dries very quickly.

Rosemary

The woodier the twig you cut, the longer it will last until it develops in the new environment. We advise you to cut the twig in the spring because the young shoot will grow much faster this season.

All this work is worth the effort because rosemary is a perfect plant to keep at home.

Spinach

Spinach is one of the most popular and common hydroponic crops among farmers. The seeds are planted in different pots with soil. When the plant is sufficiently developed, it is transferred to the water container.

Hot peppers

Planting of hot peppers begins in February-March in the northern regions and January-February in the southern regions. To prepare the soil mixture, it is necessary to mix hummus, big mill peat, and river sand in equal amounts.

Before planting, the seeds must be properly prepared: they are placed for 30 minutes in a weak solution of manganese, then wrapped in a damp cloth. Planting material should be kept in a warm place until germination.

Next, the seedlings are grown in boxes or peat pots, pre-filled with potting soil. The seeds are placed at a depth of 5–10 mm with a distance of at least 5 cm. Before they appear, the containers are covered with foil and placed in a warm place.

After about 7–14 days, the seedlings are placed in a well-lit place. The main thing is to keep the substrate moist, avoiding the appearance of water.

Cucumbers

We advise you to use the cucumber bushes, not the hanging ones because the latter is more difficult to maintain in water containers.

Celery

Celery seeds are first planted in separate pots. When the plant is large enough, it can be moved to the water jar. Growing celery without soil is already a bonus.

This means that all the soil that usually hides among the leaves will no longer cause problems. Just rinse the leaves a little before eating them.
