BloomCan

Terese found some interesting things at the Salvation Army shop last week and I was surprised too when she showed them to me. We have drinks in cans, foods in cans and even air in a can so why not plant in a can?

Check out these little beauties. They're called BloomCan and they come with different plants and Terese got two containing common mint and basil herbs. They look cute don't they?

On one end of the can we have a big opening where you can simply open with your finger like those pringle chips container while at the other end there's a plastic cover. In it there's an instruction on how to grow these.

Its pretty straight forward really, you open the top end to find vermiculite as growing medium for the plant. There should have the plant seeds inside and the instruction said to give it 3/4 cup of water to soak up the vermiculite.

On the other side of the can there's a lift up handle like a soft drink can opener, carefully open that opening to let the excess water drain off.

When they water stopped draining, cover up the underside with the plastic cover so you can place the can anywhere you like in the house without worrying about messing up your furnitures.


I've placed them on the window sill so they get good sunlight to grow and just make sure they don't dry up. Give them a spoonful of water every day or two and watch them grow. They should start to germinate in a week or so. Be patient..
