There are certain houseplants that can grow in water and do not require any soil. Here we list some of them. ​Spider plant Spider plants are famous for their air-purifying properties and easy care. And the best of all, they can even grow and be propagated in just water, with no mud or soil. When grown in water, spider plants develop long, arching leaves. ​Lucky bamboo Lucky bamboo is believed to be a symbol of good fortune and prosperity in many cultures.

 These houseplants are the best place to start your collection. They are all easy to grow and can generally withstand erratic watering, uneven or bad light, and fluctuating temperatures. They will thrive in dorm rooms, offices, and sometimes even dismal corners. Golden Pothos Vine There is a reason golden pothos (Epipremnum pinnatum "Aureum") is one of the most popular hanging plants around. In its native habitat, golden pothos grows into a tree-swallowing monster with huge yellow and green leaves.

Lucky Bamboo is a really popular indoor plant for the home, dorm, or office. The name is a little bit deceiving as it is actually not a bamboo, but rather in the Lily family with the scientific name Dracaena Sanderiana. The Lucky Bamboo is very easy to grow and take care of. The following should always be remembered: • The plant should not receive direct sunlight. • The plant should be in 2 - 3 inches of water that should be changed weekly to prevent the plant from rotting. Use rocks to hold the stalk upright. • The use of fertilizer is not necessary but can encourage and keep the plant strong. • For optimal growth, keep the Lucky Bamboo between 60-70F. The Lucky Bamboo usually does not require too much care. One common problem is yellow leaves. This problem is caused either by too much direct sunlight or the use of tap water with too much fluorine. To overcome this, do not place the plant directly in front of the window and try using filtered or bottled water.
