Kimskreations/Kim: LOL .... I see a grocery trip on your list! Just be sure the mouth of any jar is wide enough that when the plant grows you can get in to groom and water, etc. I cheated with that huge jug. My husband had a hole cut in the back for me, to make it easier to plant up! It's a 5gal water jug from back in the mid 70's. That's how they bottled water back then ... now it's all in plastic! I originally had two of these and one got broken many years ago. This thing is so heavy even without rocks, soil and plants! I take it apart every few years and replant it. It's needing a good cleaning out and replanting but it will have to wait until spring!


Dimmer/Kim: Nope, I've never tried an Episcia in water! I wonder how that would work, if it would rot? I might just have to try it and see!
