Add water. Add nutrients. Find good lighting. And watch roots develop, leaves grow, and flowers bloom.
What's the secret? Growing in water is a favorite trick of many green thumbs. It's all about selecting the right plants that grow roots which utilize the oxygen in water, similar to how they would when grown in soil or other similar mediums.
For those plants, water delivers oxygen, moisture, and nutrients to efficiently grow houseplants with minimal upkeep.

Here's a Care Guide to Growing in Water if you'd like to learn more.
Is growing plants in water seriously that easy?
Yes! We love planting in water because of how clean and easy it is. To keep your plants alive, simply ensure that they’re kept in an area without much temperature variation, refill the water every 2 weeks, and a monthly couple drops of nutrients. A full care guide can be found here.
How do I find cuttings for your products?
Sourcing plants is one of the most exciting parts of owning our Grow Frames and Hangers. The first places we generally look for cuttings are existing houseplants, swapping with friends and family, and buying plants to use for cuttings from local nurseries. Additionally, we'll be selling cuttings as an optional add-on from late March - October if you'd like our curated selection.

How long will my plants survive in water?
Plants purchased from Modern Botanical should stay healthy for at least a year. Beyond that, it varies by variety, but some plants, like the monstera deliciosa, have been known to survive for over a decade in water. Plant selection is key, which is why we only sell plants that thrive in water.
Modern Botanical is THE BEST! Amazing business all around. The owners are helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable! I live in an apartment with very little lighting and even less room for dealing with dirt and repotting plants. The combination of discovering water propagation and Modern Botanical’s beautiful glass vases and wall hangers has helped me reinvent my living space and improve our quality of life exponentially! I recommend everything I have in my home…the plant food, maple wall hangers (I was having trouble with the glass slipping on one or two, however, per recommendation of the owners, I doubled up on O-rings and haven’t had a problem since), the hanging glass tubes, and all glassware vases! Oh, and the plant starters are fantastic as well! Lots of useful advice on the website and information via social media. There aren’t enough positive things to say…which is a good problem to have! :)
Perfect thanks!
The products that I ordered are great but my package was delivered to the wrong address by ups the customer service was 10/10 and they offered to reshoot my order and replace what I’d lost despite it not being their fault, a few day later and ups got my package delivered but I highly recommend buying from this store
