Wick watering Spider Plant babies in Play-doh containers.

        These little spider plant containers are so adorable, and I am constantly throwing away useful play-doh containers.  It's a simple system for upkeep, and it allows your spider plant babies to be easily given away or shipped. When ready to give it away simply take out the smaller lid, and the water; then place the smaller container into the larger one, curl the leaves in very gently, and presto! pop the lid on, and you have a great gift.
