I have recently discovered a beauty of the air plants! There are so many kinds of these wonderful plants. Also, they are so easy to care for which makes them a perfect plant choice for the busiest of us and those with the black thumb! I have compiled this list of air plants inspiration and resources to help you find your special one 😉
Air Plants Ideas
Air plants (Tillandsia) can make a perfect gift for anyone you can think off! Whether you are an enthusiastic gardener impatiently waiting for the spring or an office worm who just wants to add a green touch to their cubicle, you can find the plant (or many) you will fall in love 🙂
You can find them in a garden centre close to you or online. We got ours at Minter Gardens and I literally had to control myself so I don’t get all of them 🙂
They can be such a beautiful centerpiece or a decor element. And once again, as a bonus, it is so easy to make an air plant terrarium on your own, and they are so easy to care for!
These simple glass containers are beyond affordable!

The plants don’t require soil but you can arrange them in a glass container with either sand or decorative rocks.
Air Plants Care
As I have mentioned, they are very easy to care for.
You just find the right spot for them. They don’t need a sunny window but a light location will help. We keep ours on the fireplace mantle for now but are planning to move them to another room. And that is going to be an exciting project to share with you, so stay tuned 😉
They only need to get watered once a week. You simply place them into a small vase or container and completely cover them with water. We use rainwater for this purpose but tap water will work fine too.
They seem to absorb water through their leaves, therefore, it is very important to soak them in it. Half an hour is more than enough 🙂
It is recommended to use a good fertilizer to feed your plant once a month or two. Just follow the instructions on the package 😉
I hope you liked these air plants ideas
Do you have any air plants at home? Do you remember where you got them from? I would love to hear what you love about them 🙂
These are so cool! I have never heard of them before. I think these might have to go on my Christmas list!
Oh Julie! They are so cute! and they are great as a gift, especially if it is a gift for yourself 😉
