Re: rooting plants in pots
Barbara:
In the children's Garden at the Fullerton Arboretum we use 1/2 gal plastic
juice bottles with the bottom cut out for miniature hot houses. We use them
over cuttings, seedlings and anything that needs protection from birds or
weather. Be sure to leave the cap off or you can broil your plants if they
are in the sun.
