Nope, Just a couple of small jars and plain water. I have a couple of crystal toothpick holders that I like to use for my small cuttings. Also a few small interesting shaped jars that had jelly or mustard in them. The jars I use are only about 2 to 3 inches tall. I will probably be pulling the small starters off the tubers in the next day or two some of them are close to 3 inches now and I want them to be about 4 to 5 inches long when I pull them. This tuber is only about 5 inches long and has 4 separate starters growing with several little nodes that will become more starters later. That's one of my small jelly jars less than 3 inches high with a 1 1/2 inch mouth. I try to only have about 1/3 of the tuber in the water and keep as much as possible out of the water that way I get more starters. My experience is that the nodes that are in the water become roots and the ones that are out of the water become starters.
Pagan, I wonder if you just water that plant if it will start to grow again. I have tried several times to pot up my tubers and see if they would grow for me but it never works. They look good and have some roots going in so you would think they would grow like a bulb would but they never do. I wonder what kind of potatoes or tubers you have growing in the bottom of that pot. If you dig up the plant post a few pictures.
