Tips from this Episode:

- You can find propagation containers anywhere! Jess suggests Betty Buzz Bottles and Alicia suggests Hornitos "On the Rocks" margarita glass.

- Talk to you friends about trading cuttings to help grow your collection!

- Mix seedling starting soil with potting soil to have a great medium for planting newly water propagated cuttings.
