I found an article that had some interesting information. Below is one of what I found. I know in another post about certain houseplants that are beneficial for clean air and I think some of the below are on that list. And they can be grown in water.
Hydroponic House Plants
Below is a list of house plants which are ideal to grow without soil. These will quite happily grow in a hydroponic system.You may know many of them and be growing them already. Why not use a cutting and begin growing it in your new system. Not only are houseplants beautiful to have in a home, they help clean the air, by absorbing CO². Which of these will you try cultivating in water?
Devils Ivy: Epipremnum aureum Arrowhead Plant: Syngonium podophyllum Philodendron: Peace Lily : Spathiphyllum: Chinese Money Plant: Pilea Female Dragon: Dracena: Dumb Cane or Leopard Lily: Dieffenbachia: Cut the young tips and put them in the water, but be careful of the sap as it is caustic! Chinese Evergreen : Aglaonema: You can grow it in whole or in individual branches. Spider Plant: Chlorophytum comosum

At one time or another I've had every one of those. In my 20's in Montana, I had an amazing, huge, South-facing window that I filled with over 100 plants, hanging, on stands, on little ladders, etc. Most of those were at that time. My favorite, (not on the list), was a Rex Begonia that I was in love with. It was one of the most beautiful and happy plants I'd ever seen, and still to this day 40 years later, I love and miss it.

How wonderful that you still remember and love it. I’m surprised that with a south facing window none of them burned!

Not one burned. They were so healthy. I had to water every day though.

I had to water every day though. That’s where I’d be in trouble. I’d fall down on the job. I even forget when I’m home days in a row.

How COOL, Shawn! I never thought of growing my golden pathos plants and peace lilies hydroponically. This will also be helpful where I have very little sunlight.
THANKS!
