Decorating with air plants is unique. They are very hardy. The plants can be placed and or hung in an array of arangements you choose, natural settings on rocks or wood, in glass tear drops, or just sit it on a shelf!
Air plants require no planting soil! They thrive in our indoor conditions, prefer indirect lighting, and love to be soaked 10-20 minutes once or twice a week in a basin of water then air dried. Do not soak when in bloom, select to sprits with water instead, to reduce the risk of rotting. You may fertilize with orchid fertilizer according to directions on container.
Air plants can be purchased at most stores that carry houseplants and online. They cost approximately $4 on up depending on size and rarity.

| This is my favorite! It is soft and blows in a gentle breeze... |
 |
| I love the way this variety looks like a spiny sphere! I enjoy putting it on a shelf. It adds an element of live earthiness to my arrangements! |
This squiggly character adds texture and an element of humor to it's surroundings.
Searching for a nest? I balance tiny eggs in this one for the Easter holiday.
 |
| The long flowing tendrils of this type feel airy and enhance my bird and floral pieces. |
 |
| Delicate and whimsy I protect this little one in a bubble, tear drop, or bowl. |
 |
A small pot with some moss also looks attractive.

Keeping it natural!
