Start your Tillandsia collection with our Faux Gray Air Plant which is 5 inches wide and 7-inches tall. The slender wire stem is easily trimmed with wire cutters. One piece in a bed of pebbles or sand in any kind of container from glass to ceramic makes a no-care botanical accent. Give as an easy DIY gift to friends.
FAQs, cleaning, and designing with air plants:
- Most artificial Tillandsias like our faux gray air plant are made with combinations of plastic, polyester, and wire
- Dust your arrangements with a feather duster.
- Damp cleaning works, too. Use a sponge.
- 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
- Artificial air plants look just as good with the stem removed and sitting on a shelf
- Not designed for full sun, although will work outdoors on shaded patios and porches
