Fun, unique plants that require no soil! Tillandsia (aka air plant) is a petite plant that absorbs moisture through the leaves not the roots making them very suitable for crafting. With a piece of drift wood, some moss, and glue, they will make an eye-catching centrepiece that is tolerant to a wide range of environmental conditions and require minimal care.
Here’s a great Mother’s day gift for any young gardener to share. Air plants (aka Tillandsia) are very kidfriendly and fun to watch. Their growth habit makes them very easy to work with. Glued onto a rock with some moss and other amusing objects, makes this an ideal project for kids of all ages.
Be inspired! With so many different plants to choose from, get creative and design your own personalized patio planter for any location - sun or shade. With the guidance of our experienced staff and the wide selection of annual flowering plants from our greenhouse - the possibilities are limitless.
