When spring comes with blooming flowers, it is an excellent time for hydroponically propagating plants through cuttings. Here are several types of plants suitable for hydroponics in spring.

Epipremnum aureum: Its leaves are emerald green, broad and ovate, with unique yellow markings. The branches are soft and naturally drooping. Cut off the branches with aerial roots and put them into water. Roots will grow within a few days. Placed on a desk or windowsill, it instantly brings a sense of vitality. Not only is it highly ornamental, but it can also effectively purify the air and absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde.

Begonia: There are numerous Begonia varieties, and Begonia maculata is most suitable for hydroponics. The stems of this kind of plant are upright, bamboo-jointed in shape. The leaves are obliquely elliptical and ovate, green on the surface, with many small white dots. Hydroponics is extremely simple. Cut a few branches and put them into water. If the temperature is appropriate, capillary roots will grow within a week, and soon the flowers will bloom in profusion. Clusters of pink or red flowers will add a perfect touch to your life.

Philodendron bipennifolium: Its leaves are huge, deeply pinnately lobed, dark green and glossy. Whether it is the Philodendron bipennifolium 'Lemon Lime' with unique patterns on the leaves or the "Little Angel" variety with small and cute leaf shapes, both soil cultivation and hydroponics are easy to master. When the plant is relatively tall, place some ceramsite at the bottom to fix it, creating an atmosphere of a tropical rainforest.

Monstera deliciosa: The stem is thick and sturdy, and the leaves have a unique shape with hole-like cracks, which greatly resemble the back of a turtle. Cut a small section of the stem and put it into water for cultivation. If there are aerial roots, put them into the water as well, as they can absorb nutrients more quickly, and the leaves will grow larger and larger, exuding a strong tropical flavor.

Ficus lyrata: The leaves are broad and shaped like a violin, dark green and glossy on the surface, and light green on the back, with a wavy entire margin. A single leaf can grow roots and survive through hydroponics. If you want to hydroponically cultivate a complete plant, you need to cut off a whole branch. It is a popular online green plant. The broad and unique shape of its leaves brings a sense of sophistication and an artistic atmosphere to the room.

Pachira aquatica: It has palmate compound leaves, with the small leaflets oblong to obovate-oblong, and the branches are soft. When hydroponically cultivating it, keep a slight distance between the plant and the water, and the roots will grow towards the water on their own. It has an auspicious meaning, a unique shape, a beautiful tree form, and can also add an atmosphere of good fortune to the interior.
