one thing you forgot is that the roots need to end up in the soil

Always split the straws first so you can remove them after the roots meet the soil. Workes great with Ficas Nerifolia

Bill is correct. Your aerial roots will follow the straw. Bill, do you put and sphagnum in yours?

Works better if the straws are completely opaque.
