Propagation Station: One Day Scrap Wood Project

I seem to be incapable of throwing away potential plants. I need to start giving plants away because every time I trim a plant I start the cutting in water. Usually this looks like mason jars and random vases sitting on the counter while things take root. I recently decided to make a propagation station to clean things up a little and because let’s be real - I love watching little cuttings send out their new roots.

This project turned out to be so easy that I was able to finish it all in one day! Our drillpress was a key tool for making the holes quick and exact. You could still do this with just a drill or a Dremel but you might consider using some kind of jig to keep the bit exactly vertical. Let me know if you try it this way!

Materials

• scrap wood - I’d recommend a piece at least 2x2”

• glass test tubes - I considered plastic and glass and I’m glad I went with these. The quality is worth it. They are also exactly like the picture with no lip at the top which is perfect for the clean look on this project.
