Plants that grow from cuttings in water

Growing roots on cuttings of plants in water is the very easiest way to propagate plants.

You don’t need special tools or skills. All you need is:

• A starter plant
• Sharp clean scissors
• A jar or cup of water
• Indirect light – such as a sunny window

You will take a cutting from your starter plant and place it in water in indirect sunlight. Check the water regularly and replace or refill it as needed. You should have roots in a few weeks!
