Easy Decorating Ideas for Air Plants
For a pop of color on your Christmas tree, hang air plants in a pretty red sphere. They thrive by themselves, or you can get creative and place them in long-fibered sphagnum moss, sheet moss or other specialty moss for a decorative look.
Hanging Display
For a hanging display, add several terrariums. These small air plant homes come in a variety of shapes, from teardrops to capsules or even glass hanging globes. Bright, filtered light keeps these light and airy plants happy and thriving.
Natural Wreath
Attach air plants, such as these silvery Tillandsia tectorum, to a natural wreath of blue cedar with seasonal berries for a beautiful and unique look.
These rootless wonders boast special leaves that help them absorb all the water and nutrients they need. Air plants survive without being planted in dirt, so they’ll do well on a wreath.
Duo of Nests
Suspend air plants in a duo of nests, such as these golden and red ornaments. If not on the tree, you can hang the nests in front of a window or from a hook on the mantel.
Air plants are very low maintenance and can be used in an assortment of ways. Download The Home Depot Mobile App to view our wide variety of air plants and have them shipped right to your doorstep.
