Thank you, Gina. ; )
Sunshine, FWIW, I've had a lot of plants in jars and bottles of water over the years and those specimens have not been as satisfying as potted ones. I love that option as an easy way to save some space when saving too many plants inside for winter.
But as far as a more permanent setup, wicked pots (pots with a wick, not evil, naughty pots) have been much more satisfying, as far as doing something beyond the basic soil in a pot thing. The consistency that a wick offers, and ease of being able to see at a glance when it's time to add more water to the reservoir is very convenient. There's a discussion about pots with wicks down the page a bit.
