Succulents are beloved for their low maintenance, unique beauty, and ability to thrive in harsh conditions. But did you know that some succulents can actually survive—and even thrive—in water? That’s right! While most people associate succulents with dry, sandy soil, a select few varieties can live happily in water without the risk of root rot.
Here are 10 amazing succulents you can grow in water, plus tips on how to keep them healthy and thriving!
🌱 1. Lucky Bamboo (Dracaena sanderiana)
Though not technically a succulent, this plant is often mistaken for one. Lucky Bamboo thrives in water and requires minimal care. Just place the stems in a jar with clean water and some pebbles to hold them upright.
Care tip: Change water every 1–2 weeks and avoid direct sunlight.
🌱 2. Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)
Jade plants can be propagated and kept in water for extended periods. Snip a healthy stem and place it in a glass of water; it will grow roots and remain stable without rotting.
Care tip: Keep the leaf base out of water to avoid rot.
🌱 3. String of Hearts (Ceropegia woodii)
This trailing succulent is perfect for hydroponic growth. Its delicate heart-shaped leaves and wiry stems adapt well to water propagation.
Care tip: Use a narrow-neck bottle to support the stems and refresh water every 2 weeks.
🌱 4. Haworthia
Compact and cute, Haworthias can root and survive in water when propagated properly. Take an offset and suspend the base just above the water line.
Care tip: Let the cut end callous before placing it near water to avoid rot.
🌱 5. Burro’s Tail (Sedum morganianum)
This trailing succulent is fragile but can root well in water. Use leaf or stem cuttings and keep them in shallow water until they root.
Care tip: Keep in indirect light and don’t submerge the leaves.
