Very cool. How do you keep them watered?

Normally I keep them sitting in a dish of water (I took them out for the photos) and the water wicks through pores in the rock. Ideally one would use pumice as it's far more effective at wicking water than scoria, but the plants don't seem to mind.

Really cool! Where did you get the rock? I think I'd like to try that.

Sorry for vanishing. Life happened. Might vanish again.
