Coast Hydro (on Facebook) made this awesome “aeroponics” rooting system for plant cuttings. An aquarium pump and air stones aerate the water so the cuttings root in a fraction of the time, and with a higher success rate.
I decided to make a miniature version of my own using a small aquarium pump, airline tubing, and a small air stone. I purchased these online, but similar items can be found at pet stores and at Walmart.
I melted holes in the top of a cheap food storage container to insert the air line and the cuttings. I used painters tape to hold everything in place. You can also cut up a sponge to put around the stems as Coast Hydro did in their larger version.
I filled the container to the top with plain tap water, plugged in the pump, and voila!
