Love Tillys Air Plants
Love Tillys Air Plants – No pots or soil required and make a great gift / craft idea.
Air Plants are known as ‘Tillandsia’ and are versatile, easy and fun – they feel at home almost anywhere warm and light. As long as you follow a few simple steps your air plants, once established in their new surroundings, will grow, flower and thrive.
TOP TILLY TIPS
– They can grow or hang on anything, anyway you like – upside down, sideways, right way up…
– Get creative, group several plants together or stick them on everyday objects from shells to picture frames – anything that doesn’t mind a light misting of water.
– Make a low maintenance terrarium – take a glass vase, candle holder or even a jar, add sand or gravel and of course – your tillys!
– Ideal in vivariums – create a lush home for your pets.
– Great for kids and perfect for young nature lovers!
Native from deserts, forests and mountain regions of southern parts of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America, they are part of the Bromeliad genus and are epiphytic (able to grow without soil). Air plants are very adaptable, tolerating a wide climatic range of conditions.
