These boots are made for rooting...

...and that's just what they've done!

I am trying an experiment...about 2/3's of these Fittonia were actually rooted in water, and I stuck in 1/3 without roots. I want to see if I keep the soil moist, if they will root on their own, which I feel they definately will. Hope I am right! I think this variety of Fittonia is my favorite...the white veins show up so prettily against the dark green leaf.

These boots I found at a thrift store a few months ago, and wondered what I would do with them...they found a home in my kitchen with the low-light loving Fittonia! A match made in heaven!
