An Air Plant Terrarium

June 29, 2009 · 8 comments

I always have something growing on our kitchen table. (Not mold, silly! Plants! Ha ha)

Here is my latest centerpiece creation:

AirFernwtmk

One old glass container from my friend Michelle. (FREE)

A few smooth stone rocks (FREE)

Two air plants – unknown tillandsia species (About $7 total)

Maintenance (Almost none! See link below)

The result? PRICELESS!

Info on caring for air plants (tillandsia).

Thanks Darla, Teresa and Cindy!

I like the idea of using it in an office too. It would also make a great “teacher gift” because it is easy to care for!

The tillandsias need air circulation all around them though so i am not sure if they will survive in such an environment. The arrangement is beautiful though!

Your Air Plants are Tillandsia Butzii and Tillandsia Juncea. The Butzii is the curlier leaf one. I love your arrangement.
