The Root Cup....anyone tried these??
Default The Root Cup....anyone tried these??

Not sure if this should go here or in the S/H forum but....

Anyone tried these new (at least new to me) cups/grow pots???

They seem pretty interesting. Looks like it might be good for keikes or struggling plants....or even S/H growers?

Thoughts?? rootcup ®

I like the idea the pots and lids can be dropped in boiling water to sterilize. The pricing seems to me to be a little over the top... but hey, I'm one of those old fogies who remembers 10¢ candy bars.

I like the idea and do something similar to that with a shot glass and heavy foil. It works very well! So...yeah, I like the idea!

Hiester, I'll see your "little over the top" and raise you to "bats#!t crazy over the top" . As others have suggested, you can do the same thing with free or nearly free materials.

Not sure I like the idea for orchids, but I have been doing nearly the same thing with common household materials for many years with other plants.
