could also plant them with \u00a0just rocks and water. \u00a0I decided to do both. \u00a0I bought a large glass container and some river pebbles at Joann&#8217;s. \u00a0The container needs to be tall and heavy so the weight of the stems won&#8217;t cause it to fall over. \u00a0They can get pretty tall.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
