One isn't used to think of roots from an aesthetic point of view,
because they're not usually visible I've got a large handsome
clear glass bottle about 3 ft high with a narrow neck - 6"diamater -
and a good solid base about 2 ft diameter which is crying out to be
used for some spectacular plant. To use ordinary soil would, I
think, be a shame. So far I have filled the bottom third with nice
black and white pebbles, and some moisture retaining pellets while I
consider what to do next. Maybe try hydroponics? If the
roots are going to be visible, it would be good if they were
interesting to look at. Any suggestions?
