 When I was in Hawaii and got a few RZ's of those, after I had to
 distroy about 3/4 of them, I had 2 or 3 left over. I got a
 styrform box that was about 6in high and two ft long and 18inch
 wide. About 2inch from the inside bottem I made holes for
 drainage. I then filled it 3/4th full of soil and planted those
 RZ's on/in that soil. I flooded the box one real good time, then
 I'id add about a gal of water a day to keep it realy wet. When I
 was giving away everything after my mother died, I gave that set
 up to one lady and all the RHZ's were sending up good fans and
 had lots of roots. I've been searching for something like that
 here in the high desert, but I think I'll have to use cat litter
 boxs to do about the same thing for my LA Iris and if I ever get
 any Pseu's again too.
