Here’s how to grow plants in water: First, cut some twigs from a buried plant. Choose the youngest ones, with a soft texture and delicate colors. They should be about 15 cm long. Remove the leaves closest to the base to allow the roots to spread and prevent the water from getting moldy.
Place the twigs in a container such as a jar, a glass bottle, or even a plastic one. Cover the area around the roots with a strip of paper or a piece of fabric. The shade created will prevent algae from forming on the bottom and on the roots, which should never be exposed to direct sunlight.
Choose a container with a narrow neck to more easily support the twigs, but avoid those that are too narrow, as they won’t allow the roots to “breathe” properly.
Initially, change the water once a week: after the formation of white roots in the water, i.e. after 2 to 6 weeks, you will not need to change it.

If you choose “woody” sprigs, they will take longer to develop roots, while younger ones will do so more quickly. Place the container in a sunny spot in the house.
