    I just realized there were some questions on this post that I never answered! Opps...

    1. How deep is the reservoir? I usually make it about 1" deep. Sometimes I don't even keep the reservoir full because it tends to grow algae, so I just water the plants in S&H by plugging the holes with my fingers and allowing the containers to fill up twice, then I drain them completely and put them back on my shelf. Since the hydroton holds some moisture, the roots stay really happy. I water once a week this way. The plants in the below picture have full reservoirs from the dew every evening!!

    2. How long were they in transit? I think about 2 days

    I will definitely update you with how they are all doing as soon as possible. At the moment, they are living on my in-laws porch and they seem to be doing okay. Here is a pic of them all jumbled together, with my coleus and pothos and bamboo to keep them company
