Air plants are not only trendy and beautiful but also great for those with a black thumb. These little aerophytes require minimal maintenance. They are perfectly fine without soil, and they can absorb water and nutrients directly through their leaves.
Also known as Tillandsia, they only need indirect light, good airflow, and occasional misting. Make sure to give them a 20-minute bath in a bowl of water once a week. There are several ways to display them – in a terrarium, as a single plant, in a group, hanging, wall-mounted, or placed on a side table.
The variations are infinite. We have selected ten air plant decor ideas to show you how creative you can get with these mini plants. Read on and invent your own eye-catching design!
