Plants that grow in the water — soil-free hydroponic design

No soil, no pot, no overflowing saucer, no fungus gnats from the soil. Plants that grow in the water (hydroponics) live directly in a vase, jar, or glass tube filled with the water. It’s the cleanest and most stylish way to keep plants at home — and the best format for spaces where soil would be a problem: shared office, living room shelf, teenager’s bedroom, kitchen.

Clusia in a jar: the hydroponic bestseller

Clusia is the species best suited for growing in the water. Its thick white roots develop perfectly in an aquatic environment and create a spectacle in themselves in a clear glass. We offer Clusia in more than 15 different formats: Samoa jar (5 cm, the smallest), Victoria jar, Kingston jar with built-in LED, glass cylinder, glass tube, ball with cork stopper, and even a heart-shaped tube. The Clusia Samoa LED jar and the Clusia Kingston LED combine plant and ambient lamp — a standalone decorative object that works on a desk or bedside table. The complete hydroponic plants collection gathers all available variants.

Monstera and Calathea in glass

The Monstera adansonii in glass jar with stopper is the hydroponic version of the most popular holey plant — its perforated leaves emerge from a transparent jar that showcases its roots. The Monstera in glass cylinder is the sleekest format. The Calathea Insignis in Kingston and the Calathea in Samoa LED bring the graphic patterns of Calathea in a soil-free format. The Sansevieria in glass cylinder combines the robustness of Sansevieria with the minimal aesthetic of glass — the plants in jars and vases collection includes all these transparent formats.

Hydroponic duos: two plants, zero soil

The Monstera adansonii & Clusia duo in glass cylinder is the most stylish — two complementary plants in two matching vases. The Clusia & Syngonium duo combines a round-leaf plant and an arrow-shaped leaf plant. The Monstera adansonii & Syngonium Green duo brings together two tropicals with contrasting foliage. Each duo arrives ready to display, with roots already developed in the water — no acclimation, no repotting, no handling.

Trios and arrangements: maximum green without soil

The hydroponic trio in glass bottles on wooden stands is the warmest — three plants in recycled glass bottles placed on natural wood stands. The LED metal cage trio is the most modern — metal structures lit with integrated plants. The metal circular stand trio is the most sculptural. The colored Santiago jar trio adds color with tinted jars. The set of 3 Clusia in glass tubes creates a harmonious mini-collection on a shelf. The hydroponic plant on golden leaf stand with wooden base is the most original object — a single plant presented as a work of art.

Mix Berlin and Syngonium Pixie: miniature formats

The Berlin jar plant mix (7 cm diameter) fits in the palm of your hand — it’s the smallest hydroponic format in the catalog and the most affordable gift. The Syngonium Pixie in hydroponic format stays miniature its whole life. These formats fit anywhere: between books on a bookshelf, on the corner of a desk, in a wall niche. They are also the cleanest small indoor plants — no risk of spilled soil.

Hydroponic care: simpler than soil

Caring for hydroponic plants comes down to two actions. First: maintain the water level so the roots are submerged two-thirds (not completely — the upper part of the roots must breathe). Second: completely change the water every 2 to 3 weeks to prevent stagnation. No watering to measure, no substrate to check, no fungus gnats — the finger test method isn’t even necessary, a glance at the water level is enough. A bit of liquid hydroponic nutrition in the water once a month in spring-summer keeps growth going.

Hydroponics and interior design

Clear glass exposes the roots, adding a visual dimension absent from classic potted plants. The white roots that develop in the water are aesthetic — they become part of the decorative object. The LED formats (Samoa LED, Kingston LED, LED metal cages) work as plant ambient lamps in the evening. Hydroponics is the format best suited to minimalist interiors and modern decorative stands — the glass, metal, and wood of the containers fit into a contemporary aesthetic that plastic pots can’t achieve. The plants for every room guide helps choose the format (jar, tube, cylinder) best suited to the intended location.
