About Glass Containers
How to use a rooting vessel:
- For Simplicity: Simply add water, drop in your cutting(s) and watch the roots develop.
- For Alure: Add small pebbles or river rock to the vessel to provide support for the plant to help it stand more upright once established. Add water and drop in your cutting(s).
- For Sharing: If your planning to transplant your rooted cutting, pack the container with sphagnum moss, wet and allow it to rehydrate for 30 minutes prior to use. Then drop in your cutting(s).
- Location: A well lit windowsill will suffice, however if your vessel is in full sun for more than a half hour we strongly recommend a tinted glass to prevent root damage, then you can determine the size and shape container you desire.
- How to select a vessel: It depends on your style, available space and what you plan on rooting, larger plants means a larger vessel. While making your choice don't forget about their other uses such as: Displaying bouquets, cut flowers, dried arrangements, colored stones (a layered black and white combination is very stylish) or flower buds with smaller sizes containers.
- You can fail: Sometimes roots simply do not form on the cuttings, some cuttings will root at the cut area and others will only root at a node. there may be a bit of trial and error involved before you are in full control.
Many of the containers we offer come from all corners of the globe to provide you with some of the most unique designs offered. As we are with plants, we are constantly searching for the new and unusual to collect for ourselves and to share.
Our containers are specifically designed for plant cultivation, not for culinary purposes or to be used in a microwave, due to the potential for cracking or rupturing caused by small air pockets that may exist. It should be noted that many of our containers, including those made of glass, are handcrafted and may exhibit minor imperfections, adding to their distinctiveness. We would like to emphasize that these containers are not to be used as pet toys or food dishes as the ingestion of broken shards can be harmful. The measurements provided may be subject to slight variations.
