Plate Bamboo
September 18th, 2009
For my bedroom, can I keep a plant in a milo tin?
here is my plan;
i want a plant for my bedroom, just a really small one, and i was going to see if i could keep it alive in a milo tin. i would of course line it with plastic, and drill a few holes in the bottom. i could put it in a shallow plate or something to catch the water.
my question is, what plant would you go with? i have a few ideas;
a mini cactus of some sort
marigolds
bamboo
spider plant (they are easy to keep but not really what im looking for)
aloe plant (so i can use the juicy stuff haha)
african violet
venus fly trap
i would love to hear your thoughts and i am open to any suggestions you have.
thanks :]
Lol, most people on here dont know what a milo tin is!
I think it would be a fantastic idea. Not only would it be 100% safe for you plant but its also recycling!!
Id personally go with the aloe plant. I know ther hardy little buggers. However it would need light,so near a window maybe?
Its up to you tho, all those plants would look grouse. Tell us how you go,!
Best of luck Angel

Lacquered bamboo plate, ‘Ablaze’ (Thailand) $199.95 Rotating lines of red and black compose the mesmerizing essence of this decorative plate. Daeng Thanunchai patiently elaborates the work by hand, its natural materials imbued with a sense of organic mystique. A fiery cultural expression. To complete this piece, coiled bamboo basketry is firstly carved on a lathe into the desired shape. A mixture of lacquer – obtained from tree and ashes of burnt rice paddy husks – is then applied to the object. Upon exposure to air the mixture dries to form a watertight seal that is polished before another coat is applied. This process is repeated until a rigid base is formed, and a final polishing is executed with sandpaper. Then several coats of pure lacquer are painted on the object, with drying periods in between each coat. The work is partially polished with sandpaper according to a predetermined pattern – generally concentric – and a few coats of different lacquer colors are applied to the surface and the object is left to dry for a few days. The process remains identical for each ensuing color, alternating lacquering and polishing sessions until the design is achieved. The final coat is washed with water and polished with powdered fired clay, offering an irresistible sheen. |

Lacquered bamboo plate, ‘The Earth Pulsates’ (Thailand) $172.95 A natural combination of brown and black evokes the earthen mystique of this handcrafted plate. The enigmatic swirls of color at once hypnotize and inspire, revealing the decorative beauty of this one-of-a-kind item by Daeng Thanunchai. To complete this piece, coiled bamboo basketry is firstly carved on a lathe into the desired shape. A mixture of lacquer – obtained from trees and ashes of burnt rice paddy husks – is then applied to the object. Upon exposure to air the mixture dries to form a watertight seal that is polished before another coat is applied. This process is repeated until a rigid base is formed, and a final polishing is executed with sandpaper. Then several coats of pure lacquer are painted on the object, with drying periods in between each coat. The work is partially polished with sandpaper according to a predetermined pattern – generally concentric – and a few coats of different lacquer colors are applied to the surface and the object is left to dry for a few days. The process remains identical for each ensuing color, alternating lacquering and polishing sessions until the design is achieved. The final coat is washed with water and polished with powdered fired clay, offering an irresistible sheen. |
