Air Plant 101
Air plants are all the rage these days in bouquets and centerpieces. They seem to be the new succulent of choice — their quirky forms are dramatic and beautiful at the same time, and they have a delicate ethereal quality to them. I’m a big fan of them.
Recently, I worked with a bride who was similarly enamored of air plants. She wanted to put them at each guest’s place setting and have them also double as favors to be taken home. She had a box of them shipped to me so that I could make sure they arrived at the wedding happy & healthy. I take my job pretty seriously — exhibits A and B are below.
Yes, I carefully unwrapped the different species of air plants and gave them a nice soak in my bathtub. I let them air dry, then spray-misted them a few days later. Who knew air plants needed water? Good thing the instructions from the Air Plant Supply Company were crystal clear. The air plants thrived & looked beautiful on the dinner tables. Photos coming soon!
Yes, I have a 50s pink bathroom!
