352 best houseplants to propagate in water

The cheapest way to grow your collection is a glass of water and a pair of scissors. These species root readily from a cutting placed in plain water — no rooting hormone, no propagation kit — so one plant becomes several, and a snipped stem becomes a gift.

How this list is built: houseplants whose documented propagation method is rooting a cutting in water— filtered from Growli's structured plant-care library, not hand-picked, so it stays consistent and checkable.

Best houseplants to propagate in water — frequently asked questions

What makes a plant one of the best houseplants to propagate in water?

This list is not hand-picked for looks. It is houseplants whose documented propagation method is rooting a cutting in water, drawn from Growli's structured plant-care library so the selection is consistent and checkable. 352 plants qualify today.

How many houseplants to propagate in water are there?

Growli currently lists 352 plants that meet the criterion (houseplants whose documented propagation method is rooting a cutting in water). The list updates as the plant-care library grows; each entry links to a full care guide.

Are these plants safe for cats and dogs?

Not necessarily — this list is selected by houseplants whose documented propagation method is rooting a cutting in water, not by pet safety. Each plant is tagged with its pet-safety status below, and links to a full ASPCA-sourced pet-safety guide. If you have pets, see the dedicated best pet-safe houseplants list.
