Use Canning Jars to Start Cuttings

Instead of buying a plant for a birthday or housewarming gift, grow one. I have a few old canning jars in my kitchen window, and I grow new plants in water from clippings of older plants. When it has new roots I plant it in dirt and give a homemade gift that will last.

RE: Use Canning Jars to Start Cuttings

That's a great idea. I start new trees in mayonnaise jars and plastic milk jugs. I dip the cutting in root starter and place it in water. It works like a charm. Everyone wants to start one of my lemon or orange, or mango trees. This is a good way and they appreciate it. If it's a gift, I wait until it's able to be planted as you do and put it in a pot.
