Synopsis:

“In this beautiful book, artist Zenaida Sengo has provided inspiration for designing and living with tillandsias.” —Flora Grubb

Air Plants shows how simple and rewarding it is to grow, craft, and design with these modern, easy-to grow houseplants. Stunning photographs showcase creative ideas for using tillandsias mounted on walls and suspended from the ceiling. You’ll learn how to use the plants in living hair accessories and jewelry and in unique containers, like dishware, leather bowls, and baskets. Six step-by-step projects include a wood mount, a wall hook, lasso-and-hook wiring, a ceramic-frame garden, and three unique terrariums.

From the Back Cover:

Fuzzy, spiky, and spectacular—air plants are living, blooming sculptures

Air plants don’t need soil, so you can dangle and perch these easy-care

plants almost anywhere. Use tillandsias in crafts with shells, rocks,

slate, or driftwood to display in your favorite nook. Or try your hand

at creating a vertical garden, a terrarium in a flask, or any of the

other stylish projects featured in this book.

Despite their

well-deserved reputation for being low-maintenance, air plants in the

home cannot survive on air alone. Tillandsia expert and artist Zenaida

Sengo explains all the basics of growing and maintaining these

intriguing plants so that they bloom and thrive year-round.
