Beautiful, Modern Planter Idea from Thailand

In Containers, Ideas, Thailand on 7 June 2011 tagged Epipremnum, Planters, Pothos

When I was in Thailand, I saw a lot of creative planters. There were vertical walls of plants, elaborate ceramic water gardens, and epiphytes attached to trees with nothing more than a piece of twine.

But the one I still think about today was in the Bangkok Police Station (long story*). I really enjoyed the modern porcelain enclosure and unusual watering system. The elaborate design of the container used to grow the lowly Pothos (aka Epipremnum, a typical office plant) seemed designed to play with our botanical expectations. It was truly a work of art.

* Okay, it’s not a long story – I was just there to use the facilities. You have to drink a lot of water in a place that hot.
