Water & Soil-Friendly Plants (Ideal choices include Pothos, Spider Plants, Coleus, Dracaena Fragrans, or Philodendron.)

Steps

Remove Excess Soil: Take the plant out of its container and gently shake off or massage the roots to remove loose soil.
Rinse the Roots: Fill a bowl with cool water and submerge the roots, gently massaging them to remove any remaining soil. Change the water if needed until the roots are clean. Some brown coloration is normal.
Trim if Necessary: If the roots are too long for your jar, carefully trim them with sharp scissors to fit inside.
Place in the Jar: Fill your Bonne Maman jar with fresh, cool tap water. Gently place the plant inside, ensuring the roots are fully submerged while the leaves rest around the jar’s opening.
Maintain & Watch It Grow: Refresh the water as needed, at least every 4 weeks, to keep it clean and support healthy growth. Enjoy your new upcycled plant jar!
