You can also grow plants from apple and orange seeds.

instead of using the toothpick method I have begun using the glass rocks we have around us adding the water and when roots appear then I have my plant ready to go and it's pretty too!

I grew the mushrooms! They came in a kit and I just followed the directions. I had lots of mushrooms for several years!
