The Airplant Sidewinder comes already mounted on a 7 x 2.5 inch tall cork stand, so it is ready to set down and display the moment it arrives.
This is an air plant, grown without soil. Its curling, silvery-green leaves fan out from a central base, and the plant absorbs water and nutrients through those leaves rather than through roots in a pot, so the cork mount is a genuine home for it, not just a display prop.
Because it needs no soil and no container, it suits a shelf, a windowsill, or a grouped tabletop display where several cork-mounted stands can sit side by side. Give it a spot with bright, indirect light.
To keep it alive, mist it 2 to 3 times a week rather than watering the base, and make sure it gets enough air circulation to dry out between mistings — good airflow matters as much as watering does for a mounted air plant like this one.
