Is this propagation station too thin for the prop? Will it affect the roots growing?

I have water propped plants in as many containers as there are: fish tanks, Mason jars, shot glasses, test tubes, and teacups and even in the more confined ones as long as the roots can just get started in any direction youre probably fine as long as it's a short term arrangement. If you're going for a longer term hydroponic/water garden, then a bigger container would be beneficial.
