There are people who are never at home but still dream of having beautiful plants. While it is true that there are a few species that withstand droughts very well, there are those who would prefer to have other species. The simplest solution is hydroponics. There are plants that can be grown in water, without substrate, so you won't have to worry about watering.
Plants grown in water can grow more beautiful and healthy, not only because they have the right levels of humidity, but also because they directly absorb the nutrients from the fertilizer added to the water and avoid many pests and diseases related to the substrate. It is also possible to put them in glass containers, which you can vary according to your taste and decorative style.
The
first thing you need to know is that the plant must have its roots submerged in water at all times, so you have to replace it when you see that it has evaporated. You may need to put some pebbles or clay balls at the bottom to help the stems of the plant stand upright. You can also use hydrogel spheres, which are also colored and will look beautiful in a glass container.
Use spring water or rainwater, as it lacks substances such as chlorine, lime and others that can affect the health of your plant. If you don't have either, let the purified water sit for at least 48 hours before using it on your plant.

love tradescantias because they bring a lot of color to the collection of plants, plus they are almost immortal. I've seen them growing in the cracks of walls, beautiful with their pink flowers. You can take a stem and put it in a bowl of water, which will have roots after a few weeks.
- Peace Lily
The Peace Lily looks fantastic in a vase of water, whether you're trying to root a cutting or taking an overgrown plant, cleaning it from the substrate and putting it in the water. It continues to produce flowers in this type of cultivation and is a very simple way to keep its humidity levels perfect.
- Philodendrons
Philodendrons are very well suited to hydroponics. You'll love its heart-shaped leaves, with a cute shade of deep green. This floor has fairly low lighting requirements, so they're perfect for those low-light floors.
