I tried using this CostCo, Kirkland tub that had cookies in it from their bakery (DH is a cookie monster so the cookies went fast!). I couldnt get the whole label off, that's partly why you can see through it, but it is working fine. lot's of holes all around so it doesn't stay too wet. The thing is, I really tried to kill that first batch of D&P bargain violets. I 'over did it' with them. These are the crowns that are left. So far, since I've put them in here, just a few days ago, they have all crisped up and are perking up. I tried doing the same thing but putting the crowns in small pots, and they were really suffering. Once I gave them more humidity, they did better. BUT we're pretty dry, I have to run a humidifyer in the playhouse to keep it at 60%.
