Hydroponic House Plants

[Shawn]

I found an article that had some interesting information.  Below is one of what I found.  I know in another post about certain houseplants that are beneficial for clean air and I think some of the below are on that list.  And they can be grown in water.




Hydroponic House Plants

Below is a list of house plants which are ideal to grow without soil. These will quite happily grow in a hydroponic system.You may know many of them and be growing them already. Why not use a cutting and begin growing it in your new system. Not only are houseplants beautiful to have in a home, they help clean the air, by absorbing CO². Which of these will you try cultivating in water?

Devils Ivy: Epipremnum aureum
Arrowhead Plant: Syngonium podophyllum
Philodendron:
Peace Lily : Spathiphyllum:
Chinese Money Plant: Pilea
Female Dragon: Dracena:
Dumb Cane or Leopard Lily: Dieffenbachia: Cut the young tips and put them in the water, but be careful of the sap as it is caustic!
Chinese Evergreen : Aglaonema: You can grow it in whole or in individual branches.
Spider Plant: Chlorophytum comosum

Some of those are really pretty.

At one time or another I've had every one of those. In my 20's in Montana, I had an amazing, huge, South-facing window that I filled with over 100 plants, hanging, on stands, on little ladders, etc. Most of those were at that time. My favorite, (not on the list), was a Rex Begonia that I was in love with. It was one of the most beautiful and happy plants I'd ever seen, and still to this day 40 years later, I love and miss it.

How wonderful that you still remember and love it.  I’m surprised that with a south facing window none of them burned!

[Kate]

Not one burned. They were so healthy. I had to water every day though.

That’s where I’d be in trouble.  I’d fall down on the job. I even forget when I’m home days in a row.

How COOL, Shawn!
 I never thought of growing my golden pathos plants and peace lilies hydroponically. This will also be helpful where I have very little sunlight.

THANKS!
