Tillandsia, or air-plants, are epiphytes that make their home up in the trees in mostly tropical regions of the world.  Surviving on a daily dose of moisture (in the form of mist) they grow happily in a variety of indoor conditions; inside glass terrariums, tucked into seashells, on rocks, suspended on wire, tucked into other plant foliage, inside tea-cups… the options are endless!

Being SO easy to grow they make the perfect gift for the home or office.  A glass terrarium filled with airplants can truly whisk one from the confines of the office to distant lands, daily!

 

We have many airplants to choose from @ the store so stop in and check out these captive treasures the next time you are in our area!
