What I mean by that is...can i just take part of a plant and put it directly in water...and can I take a part of a plant and put it directly in soil. Of course the one that I am putting in soil I will add water to. But do you know any plants that can grow that way...but cutting off pieces of them and growing them???
Thanks so much!

you can take any cutting and root it by water...but, you can't just take any old cutting and expect it to naturally grow in soil without the right conditions. I am a grandmother who has been growing and working in greenhouses all my life. I just started 660 plants from seed that I just put in the garden. If you will email me and tell me what your project is, I really will help you...you don't have to use your real email...just do it though Yahoo.....I can also direct you to many many websites I have marked under favorites like www.davesgardens.com

Hi, Me Again. I just answered your first version of this question. So I'll try again.
Sounds like you are talking about getting plants to root in water so they can be planted?
Actually, most plants can be started that way, particularly the ones that have woody stems. Herbs are good -- rosemary, basil, pineapple sage, and others. Some things you can just stick in soil and keep moist, like tomatoes and geraniums -- they're really good for that!
Not all cutting of any type of plant will take. Some will do great and others just don't have the will to live once they've been cut.
I used to do a lot of houseplants -- purple velvet and rabbits foot would root, I remember (we're talking 30 years ago here). I don't think coleus worked. Spider plants will put out roots on the babies while they're still attached to the mom, so don't cut them until they have roots.
If you want advice on growing plants in your area, search for the Master Gardeners in your county (or call your county ag commissioner or ag extension advisor).
Growing plants is such a wonderful thing to do, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

OK...that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so next time...try to phrase it better... Obviously, plants are supposed to grow in soil, and be watered. Some plants need more water/fertilizer than others. For a larger list, check the library. Some plants need very little soil. You might try irises, lucky bamboo, and the library...I have found Japanese garden books to have sections on water plants.
