Living sculpture, no soil.
Tillandsia grow without soil, which makes them the most sculptural living plant we carry. These displays set them on natural driftwood, cork bark, and sea urchin shells — assembled and ready, from single-plant holders to full desktop gardens and hanging terrariums.
Every piece of wood is different, so every display is genuinely one of a kind. Gift-wrapped options included.
What is a Tillandsia, exactly?
An air plant — a plant that takes its water and nutrients from the air through its leaves, no soil ever. That freedom is what makes the displays possible: mounted on driftwood, cork bark or a sea urchin shell, the plant simply lives where it is placed.
What kinds of displays are here?
- Driftwood gardens — fully assembled, sculptural, no two alike
- Cork bark mounts and wall pieces — the vertical option
- Hanging terrariums and shell planters — single plants staged simply
- Gift sets — wrapped grab bags and DIY terrarium kits
How do I keep an air plant happy?
Bright indirect light, and a thorough mist or a brief dunk every week or two — then let it dry upside down before it goes back on the mount. Mature plants throw offsets, so a good display renews itself. More care detail is on the care page.
Why do air plant displays make good gifts?
They arrive finished, they live for years on two minutes of care a fortnight, and no two are alike — the driftwood decides that. The gift-wrapped grab bags and DIY terrarium kits cover the small occasions; an assembled driftwood garden covers the big ones. For someone with a green thumb and no garden, a mounted Tillandsia is the rare plant gift that flatters the giver a year later.
Questions about air plants
How do I water an air plant?
Mist thoroughly or dunk it in water every week or two, then let it dry upside down before it goes back on its mount. Bright indirect light, no soil, ever.
How long do they live?
Years, with the watering rhythm above — and mature plants offset new pups that carry the display on.
