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.
