12 Pink Indoor Plants to Grow in Water

Written by Emily Belkoff

I’m a mom who loves plants, but I hate messy soil. When I found out about pink plants that grow in water, I was hooked! 

They’re super easy to care for and look amazing. Let me show you 12 pretty pink plants that’ll brighten up your home.

1. Pink Syngonium

One of my absolute favorites is the pink Syngonium. Its eye-catching variegated leaves, featuring a beautiful blend of pink and green, never fail to brighten up any corner of my home.

What I love most about this plant is how the colors become even more vibrant when grown in water. It’s like watching a living watercolor painting evolve right before your eyes!

2. Aglaonema

Next on my list is the Aglaonema. Some varieties of this plant boast rich pink veins or edges that create a stunning contrast with their green foliage.

I have one sitting on my desk, and it never fails to catch the attention of video call participants. It’s a great conversation starter!

3. Nerve Plant

The Nerve Plant holds a special place in my heart. Its vivid pink vein patterns set against a darker green backdrop are truly mesmerizing.

I often find myself getting lost in thought while admiring its intricate leaf design during my morning coffee routine.

4. Pink Begonia Varieties

If you’re looking for something a bit more delicate, pink Begonia varieties are the way to go. They display beautiful speckles or margins on their leaves that add a touch of whimsy to any space.

I’ve propagated several cuttings for friends, and they’re always thrilled with how easy they are to grow in water.

5. Coleus

Coleus offers a range of pink hues from soft pastels to intense magentas, complete with intricate patterns. It’s like having a living tapestry in your home!

I have a few different varieties, and mixing and matching them creates a stunning visual display that’s become the focal point of my living room.

6. Pink Anthurium

Moving on to flowering plants, the pink Anthurium is a show-stopper. What many people don’t realize is that the “flowers” are actually spathes, but their striking shade of pink is no less captivating.

I love how these plants add a tropical touch to my indoor oasis, reminding me of past vacations even on the dreariest of days.

7. Pink Orchids

Pink orchids are another favorite of mine. They can be elegantly kept in a jar of water with their roots partially submerged.

Watching the roots develop and flourish in water is not only fascinating but also oddly satisfying. It’s like having a living science experiment on display!

8. Impatiens

Propagating Impatiens cuttings in water has become a fun hobby of mine. It’s a fantastic way to watch their roots develop, and before you know it, you have a whole new plant to enjoy or share with friends.

9. Unnamed Three-Toned Plant

While I’m not sure of its exact name, I have a stunning three-toned plant with leaves featuring shades of pink, white, and green. It’s become quite the conversation piece when guests come over!

10. Some Caladium Varieties

Some Caladium varieties include a pink midrib or stripes, adding a unique touch to your collection. These plants remind me of delicate watercolor paintings and never fail to bring a smile to my face.

11. Pink Inch Plant

Last but not least, the Pink Inch Plant sports pink hues on its leaves, beautifully contrasted by a purple hue. It’s an excellent choice for small spaces, making it perfect for apartment dwellers or those with limited windowsill real estate.
