Water Plant Care 💧

Love plants but not the mess? Water plants are the perfect low-maintenance option. With no soil, no repotting, and less frequent watering, they're an easy way to bring greenery into your home. As an added bonus, they're generally cleaner, more allergy-friendly, and less likely to attract pests.

Water is everything

Your water plant lives entirely in water, so keeping it fresh is the key to a happy, healthy plant. We recommend using bottled spring water where possible, as it contains natural minerals that can benefit growth.

  • Change the water weekly for the first couple of months.

  • Once the root system is established, you can switch to changing it every 3–4 weeks.

  • Top up the water as needed, making sure the roots remain submerged.

Don't forget to feed it

Just because it's growing in water doesn't mean it doesn't get hungry! A quality liquid fertiliser will provide the nutrients your plant needs to thrive. A little goes a long way—simply follow the directions on your chosen fertiliser.

Find the perfect spot

Placement is one of the biggest factors in keeping your water plant happy. Choose a position with bright, indirect light and avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can overheat the water and damage the plant.

Most water plants also prefer a stable environment, so try to keep them away from cold drafts, air conditioners, and sudden temperature changes.

A few extra tips

  • Keep the glass container clean to help prevent algae build-up.

  • Trim away any yellowing leaves or damaged roots as needed.

  • If the water starts to look cloudy, simply give the container a rinse and refresh the water.

With a little love and the occasional water change, your water plant will reward you with beautiful, fuss-free greenery for years to come. 🌿
