I need help to grow some culinary herbs in water crystals

Suitable houseplants for growing in water

As you can imagine, not every houseplant will grow solely in water. The plants that I have been most successful with are:

Spider Plants (Chlorophytum)
Peace Lilies (Spathyphillum)
Goosefoot Plants (Syngonium)
Can plants that have been grown in soil adapt to living in water?

It is possible to convert soil-grown houseplants to a water-only environment, and I have done this with several of my own. But you have to be prepared for the transition to be too traumatic on occasion, and your plant may die off in a most spectacular fashion. It is probably better to start with suitable, young, inexpensive plants. They arenâ??t so established, and will develop an optimum root system for growing in water. If a plant is expensive, or of sentimental value, leave it in the environment that it is used to - it is not worth taking the risk
You need to make sure that you wash off all compost from the roots of plants you intend to grow in water. Otherwise, the roots will rot, the water become foul, and the plant will die..Plants grown in water-filled glass containers can look quite spectacular. Their root systems are able to be observed, and they are often as pretty and dramatic as the houseplants themselves. Striking or unusual clear receptacles will add to the overall effect, and have their place in light and airy interior design. Water-filled containers also help the atmosphere in your home from drying out. You are able to go off on vacation, without rigging up some kind of capillary watering system or relying on neighbours to water your plants. Growing of houseplants in water is a matter of trial and error.
Young plants are often available very cheaply, and it is well worth experimenting to see exactly what you are able to grow. You need to use common-sense and try to figure out which plants are liable to adapt. But it can be a lot of fun, especially for those of us who have despaired of ever growing house plants!:dh:


My friend used the gel crystals & also used veg food colouring in some to make them funky...!!!
:dh: I even saw some people at a flower show in the US with a couple of little goldfish swimming around the roots..!!!!:D
