A back end of my Pot. George's Jewel was on it's last legs, (no viable
roots) so I decided to try Ray's S&H method.

Not sure now if I want to put it back into bark mix?

I have found that the semi-hydro works just as well to get back ends started
as the sphag n' bag method.

I shall have to order some pots but wondering if they have to be clear
plastic?

Cheers Wendy

Any plastic container will do. Clear or translucent allows light to the
roots and allows you to see more easily if you need to water.
