Regular paint Cinta.

I use a much thicker mix then this lady I found on You Tube....

I think for for serious pots with dirt and plants the fabric should be soaked in water first and the mix has to be 3 more cups thicker on the Portland cement. THICK GOOPEY cake batter.

These lightweights would be great painted for the holidays filled with a little pea gravel in the bottoms and with votive candles though! Thumbs up
*******************************
I am still curing this new experiment; yet have decided I'm going to do this one in old coral whites. I have this cool pot of assorted Sanseverias with the dwarf Birdsnest form, a medium and a tall form I've been growing together for a couple of years in a plastic pot.

I decided to lift it them out and just set them in the tall pot for a look for a photo, and then placed them back to their original pot.

It looks like old dead coral with living in the middle to me as a terrestrial sustitute for the look.

I also have a few orchids to play with that I think might be effective in this pot.

The pot is hard and tough now yet is not yet finished for use or ready to plant. I may keep it empty for arrangements dried or alive to change through the seasons indoors too.......................................................;Time and finishes will tell.

I'm very fond of the Sanseveria in the future in it though, and inside.... I tip my hat to you.
