A Botanical Magic Trick: Air Plants and Aeriums

April 24, 2012

An air plant suspended from a wall, growing without any visible evidence of soil, still seems like some kind of a magic trick to us. A charming one, though. Here are a few we find hard to resist:

Above: A Mounted Staghorn Fern does best in bright, indirect light. Having its root ball wrapped in moss before being mounted to a cedar plank simulates the way it lives in nature, growing in crevices of trees. It’s $105 from Terrain.

Above: A Tillandsia Garden will get most of its nutrients from particles in the air. Immerse it in water once a week; mist it every couple of days. Use tillandsias in terrariums, aeriums, or tabletop arrangements. A set of six is $68 at Terrain.
