Great job Kim! I grow stuff in water like that all the time! We had a "Rooting Jar Exchange" on this forum a month ago - I think another one is being planned for the fall ... it was so much fun, you should join in next time ... we just posted our name and sent a neat jar/vase/glass container to the person who posted their name below ours. I have been rooting all kinds of plants in water for years. That Philodendron of yours should do real well for you! I love the blue stones you used ... I lined my kitchen window with small glass jars and put blue chipped glass and marbles in them and stuck some cuttings in - they are full of roots now! I have glass containers scattered all over the place with stuff growing in water. I also have a collection of glass containers that I have planted different plants in. I have photo's somewhere ... will see if I can find some so you can see what I mean. Ok ... here's one of some containers on the (excuse the messy) desk! These are just clear glass containers that I planted up a few years ago.
I like the colored containers with start rooting in them. They look really pretty don't they? How long since you were working outside the home?
Here's some of my rooting jars on a shelf in my kitchen:

Here's the bottles and jars with blue stones in the kitchen window now:
Yep ... I do have a lot of plants! Sometimes I think I have TOO MANY! Takes so much time. My back porch and deck are cluttered with plants, so many it takes me more than an hour to water them all! I need to downsize! :)
I love unusual shaped jars for rooting plants, and I really love it when I find colored glass jars!
I am starting to cut the leaves I think that I may need to buy more shelf
Thanks so much for the ideas
Kim
You are quite welcome Kim! Yep! .... the more stuff you start rooting, the more shelves you end up needing! I am trying to cut back! I'm doing some Spring Cleaning inside the house right now and trying to move more plants outside! I have waaay to many plants! But, I don't work, so it keeps me busy that's for sure!
plantladylin is responsible for me not being able to cook anymore in my kitchen...............every counter has something rooting!!!! It is fun!!!
