Is this situation set up okay for my string of pearls, and dolphins? Any tips appreciated, this is my first time trying to water propagate. 🤞🏻 🪴

If you’re not comfortable with this set up maybe try using an old water bottle or bottle of any kind 😇

Shallow containers will evaporate more quickly and it might be harder to keep the nodes submerged — maybe a shot glass?

#### Maddie replied on 2024-07-09

Any other suggestions? I don’t have any of those, I’m not 21 yet…

jam jar? old prescription bottle?

Okay, thank you!
