| Pothos for sure |

| Spider plants? I usually plant them, but they root well in water alone. |

Op here. Thanks for these ideas!
How about 'Wandering dude' Tradescantia zebrina? Has anyone kept these cuttings in water? https://artterrarium.com/products/10-hb-wandering-jew |

Agree on this one. I took some cuttings from my office plants when I left to telework a year ago, and they've been thriving in a vase of water ever since. |

I have a very similar one (though not purple on the underside) - I've kept it in water and it's been fine. The plant I have is very fragile though, so if I touch the leaves the wrong way, they fall off. But I have one in soil too and it acts the same way, so it's not because it's in water. |

They will survive, but the roots will quickly get long, pretty icky after a while. |

NP I start mine in water to root but then transfer to soil after a coupe if weeks. Are you saying then can stay in water indefinitely? |

| Arrow root, mostly. Sometimes they thrive for a long time in water and then suddenly die. |
