So, You Think You Could Kill an Air Plant?

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.
Comonly known as "Air Plants," this genus Tillandsia have 650 species of evergreen in the Bromeliad family.
They usually bloom a fan shaped flower once a year. Most of these varieties are sold without being labeled. However, there are resources to be found google air plants.

Air plants can be displayed so uniquely! When you are working on an arrangement and you need a touch of greenery an air plant is a good solution!

An air plant can be wired and hung like an ornament!

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!
