Jumbo glass propagation tubes, 1.5x8" (38x200mm ), you can't buy bigger ones off the shelf. Chad Ludeman of Staylokal (Lokal Hotel/Postgreen Homes) shared this photo from their new property in Egg Harbor City, NJ where they incorporated a DIY test tube wall propagation station. Here is what he had to say:
"We rehabbed a dilapidated and abandoned cabin in the woods into an upscale AriBnB. This was an old piece of lumber from a section we demolished that had been in a fire. We drilled holes to accept your test tubes and mounted it to the wall with french cleats. A pretty easy project all said and done that really adds to the living area. We have a lot of plants in all our rental homes and now try to put propagation stations in them all! These are the best test tubes we've found and a great size. We will keep inventing new designs for propagation stations utilizing them and may even sell some on the side..."
The only materials needed are some scrap wood & tools to make a water plant collection propagation display that matches your decor style. Spider plants, lucky bamboo, snake plants will all work as indoor plants. Mount your indoor baby plant cutting collection in these glass propagation vases on the wall, in a wooden stand, on a windowsill or your desktop or make one for your favorite dedicated spot. This plant test tube water propagation lets the plant lover in you watch houseplants of all different shapes & colors grow new roots with enough space to flourish. Hanging planters make an attractive soil free hydroponic terrarium that can even tolerate indirect sunlight in your office or living room.

These giant test tubes are 38x200mm (1.5x8 inch) and made with thick clear borosilicate glass. Thick rims for tight stoppering and unmarked but printable for promotional use. They have very thick walls and are nearly indestructible for displays in stores or trade shows or packaging.

Great product, quick delivery, well packaged and, it was a hard to find product until I found Indigo.
I purchased 38x200mm test tubes to replace rain gauge tube that broke & I could not locate any other option local/online that would fit the - apparently - special size for the rain gauge. While I was disappointed the test tubes did not have incremental markings (for rain measurement), since the test tube fit the rain gauge perfectly, I was able to transfer markings from prior/broken tube to the new test tube. Subsequently, able to use the new test tube for my rain gauge.
These are really high quality and perfect for my propagation wall.
Great quality glass, well packaged and just what I needed. Will definitely be buying from indigo in the future.
Tubes were correctly size and quantity. Also, very well wrapped to protect from breakage.
Good to know, thanks.
My test tubes arrived quickly and were exactly what I was looking for. Packaged very well for shipping!
Thanks for letting us know.
As long the leaves of the propagated plant are exposed to sunlight, any container will do. Tall glass test tubes are relatively light & can be positioned almost anywhere. They make it easier to maintain adequate water levels & offer plenty of room for root development & growth which can be interesting to watch as well.
All plants require sunlight for photosynthesis which converts water & carbon dioxide into glucose & cellulose, essential for growth & reproduction which includes propagation. Some plants require direct sunlight & others are more shade adapted. Rimmed glass test tubes are a convenient way to move your plant so it gets the light it needs.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad we could get you what you needed.
