Coleus can be propagated in water from stem cuttings. Ensure each cutting has several nodes, place it in water, and roots will develop.
Many types of begonias, such as angel wing begonias or rex begonias, can be propagated in water from stem cuttings. Roots will form from nodes submerged in water.
African violets can be propagated in water by taking leaf cuttings with petioles (stalks) and placing them in water until roots appear. Then, transfer to soil.
Tradescantia, also known as spiderwort or wandering jew, can be propagated in water from stem cuttings. Roots will grow from nodes submerged in water.
Lucky bamboo can be propagated in water quite easily. Simply cut a segment of the stem below a node and place it in water until roots develop.
