Think of what fun you can create with our faux air plant – Ionantha tillandsias – that never needs water or light. This small Ionantha-style air plant spreads 6 inches wide at its widest point on a 4-inch stem. Total length plus pick (stem) 7.5-inches. Trim the stem with wire cutters.
FAQs, cleaning, and designing with artificial air plants:
- Most faux air plants such as our faux air plant Ionantha are made with combinations of plastic, polyester, and wire
- Occasionally dust your arrangements with a feather duster
- Damp cleaning is not recommended for plants that are flocked
- The base stems are often short and sturdy. Trim with wire cutters
- You might want to anchor your air plants in dry floral foam. Dry floral foam does not hold water and offers a sturdy base to hold your plants
- You may hot glue your floral foam to your container interior, although if you’re not mailing or moving your arrangement, it’s not necessary
- Cover your floral foam with dry moss, pebbles, or decorative sand
- Use your faux air plants tucked in among live plants
- For the most realistic look, trim the stem off entirely and set it on a shelf
- Use in wire air plant hangers, plant walls
- Not designed for full sun, although will work outdoors on shaded patios and porches
