I need some swap material locally. So today I cut the tops off of the lids from two jars. This leaves what looks ever so much like two canning jar rings (only wider). From a pair of peanut butter jars, in Kroger's biggest size jar.
I have glued and taped them top-to-top to make what looks like conjoined twin jars.
I will put some sand and sphagnum moss mixed 1 to 1 and use it to create a humid place to force bald cypress twigs in.

Hmmm... would 2 canning jar lids work for this, as I have a bunch of these!

And I can easily add drains (by drilling). The down side of using glass jars is its much easier to drown cuttings. But most mayo jars are now plastic and still sized to take mason-jar rings.

Hey, coppice, thanks for the idea. I have been trying, without success, to propagate some tamarix, for several years now. This just might work Deb
