"One of the easiest, cheapest ways to get new houseplants is to grow them yourself, either by snipping off cuttings to propagate them in water or by planting your own seeds or bulbs. While you can use many different containers for propagating, you need something a little more specific to grow bulbs (like amaryllis or paperwhites) or seeds (like an avocado tree). Fortunately, a newly released set of vases from IKEA can handle both."
"What makes these vases special is their shape: Since they all have a tapered neck that separates the top and bottom of the vase, they can hold water in the bottom part, a bulb in the top part, and keep both totally separate - meaning that while roots can reach the water below, the bulb won't be sitting in moisture that can cause rot. Even if you're not a bulb grower, these vases are also ideal for propagation since the tapered necks prevent water from evaporating as quickly while your cuttings root."
Growing new houseplants can be done cheaply by propagating cuttings or planting seeds and bulbs. Bulbs and seeds require more specific containers than general propagation. IKEA's DAKSJUS three-piece colored glass vases feature a tapered neck that separates top and bottom, allowing roots to reach water while keeping bulbs dry to prevent rot. The vases function like classic forcing vases with a modern shape and rich colors: smoky gray, rusty orange, and deep blue. Sizes range from 1 3/4 to 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 to 5 1/8 inches in height. The tapered necks reduce water evaporation, aiding cuttings, and the set costs $14.99.
