Making it a common sight in most households. It\u2019s nearly indestructible and like every other marginal plant, it can survive with its roots in water constantly.<\/p>\n<p>To start the process, look for a plant with bright green leaves since a yellow or brownish colour denotes an unhealthy sign. Take a container, fill it up with enough pebbles or stones to stabilize it in place and fill it up with 1 to 3 inches of water. And voila! Luck never looked this mess-free and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcreatives.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog-1665997382058.jpg\" alt=\"Orchids\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/blogcreatives.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog-1665997382058.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orchids\"><\/span><strong>Orchids<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Fragrant and diverse, the beauty of orchids speaks for itself. They\u2019re epiphytes which means they grow on other plants instead of soil. But that doesn\u2019t make them parasites because their roots are covered with a squishy membrane that sucks up water from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Add to the vibrance of your home by simply placing them in a container and filling it up with stones or moss. Make sure to provide the roots with a moist environment consistently to enable their growth and well-being.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcreatives.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog-1665997381837.jpg\" alt=\"Paperwhites\" data-cke-saved-src=\"https:\/\/blogcreatives.s3.amazonaws.com\/blog-1665997381837.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Paperwhites\"><\/span><strong>Paperwhites<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A variety of daffodils, these fragrant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.in\/plants-gifts\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.in\/plants-gifts\"><strong>plants<\/strong><\/a> are both exquisite and charming. Additionally, these low-maintenance bulbs are happy to grow without any potting soil. They do not need added fertilizer or other inputs to bloom indoors as winter houseplants.<\/p>\n<p>So you have two methods to make the most of this beautiful plant. They can be sprouted in a shallow dish planted with pebbles or they can be sprouted in water alone using a bulb vase. Both, easy to follow and easier to maintain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Water, sunlight and soil, the three vital needs of a plant to grow abundantly.
