Making a "dirt bag".

 Pick up some old nylons at the thrift store....
 Tie a knot in one end
 Stuff with ever how much potting mix you want the bag to be.... tie the other end
try to have a stem on the plant ...I trimmed this one off some.  Just an inch is best.
Poke a hole in the bag with a pencil or toothpick and insert your plant and water.  You could add as many plants as you want to cover the entire bag.  Rachel at Graye's Greenhouse said to set it aside and forget it while it sets roots.  The ones we made at the class were so pretty, she had flats of tiny plants of various succulents for us to choose from.  It was a fun day.  And not rocket science.

Good idea. I wondering, do they even sell nylons anymore? I haven't bought any in years

Thanks so much Peggy! You’re right, not rocket science, but it sounded too easy so glad you “walked” us through it!. Now...if only the dang snow would finish melting LOL. Happy, Happy, Easter! ~Robin~

That's very cool! I'm embarrassed to say, I bought an artificial succulent today.

Yes, thank you for the tutorial. I like that idea much better than just putting the dirt in a pot. Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!

Discuss your snoring with your dentist.Play Bazaar If your lower jaw slackens in your sleep, it can contribute to snoring. Your dentist can fit you with a special mouthguard to wear at night, which will hold your teeth together and keep your jaw relaxing too much. This may fix your snoring problems.Satta King
