Often the question is asked, "what kind of plants can be used in WaterBeads?"
Will Creed replied...
The list of plants that can live in water is too long to post. Just about any soft-stemmed plant from which you can root cuttings will live in water. Woody-stemmed plants, ferns, and palms will not grow in water
The very popular lucky bamboos that are sold growing in water are really Dracaena cuttings. Other popular plants that grow well in water include, pothos, Philodendron, wandering Jew, ivy, spider plants, and Chinese evergreen.
If you tap water is on the hard side, use filtered, distilled or rainwater in stead. Change the water every couple of weeks. Add a very tiny amount (about one-tenth the recommended rate) of any complete fertilizer to the water.I'm starting a study of some of my own backyard and indoor plants to see what will take off and will be posting pics and updates on WaterBeads4Plants.com/blog
