Have you heard of water culture?

Also known as growing plants in water.

It is about as easy as it sounds. Many, dare I say most common houseplants can be grown in water long term. The easiest method is to take a cutting from a larger “Mother” plant and root that in water.

Once you put in the water, you simply never take it out…..

If you want it big, start it big!

One thing to keep in mind when growing plants in water is that they tend to grow a lot slower than their soil counterparts.

This is often due to lower quantities of nutrients found in the water vs. what a typical potted plant would encounter.

There are things you can do to speed up the process, but to be honest, I don’t do any of them

Each of my vintage lab sets is unique.

So how do you choose the right one?

Easy!!

Larger openings are easier to clean, care for, and exchange cuttings. - Better for constant cutting rotation

Smaller openings lend themselves to more creative visions and distinctive stylings - Better for the WOW factor

OSTANES and CHYMES have larger openings

ZOSIMOS has smaller openings and currently

PERENELLE and ANQI combine elements of both

How much do you value the WOW?
