Greg, Right! That is what I was thinking. They grew quite big and quite fast that way. I just kept sticking them in the same little vase of water and they would take off. Just had wondered if anyone else had ever heard of doing that. Your probably right it could just be the type of semp it is. I don't have any other ones to try that with again but the baby's that were hurt during the greenhouse fall. I sooooo hope they make it!! I will let the DH know that maybe putting some short legs on them would be best. How many holes and how big should the drainage holes be on the bottom of a 2ft X 2ft box be do you think?
