Air Plants, where did you get yours?
I keep seeing all these cute decorating ideas using air plants, but where do you buy them ? I would mail order them but right now temperatures are still in the mid 90's and my mail box is like an easy bake oven. I am afraid the little plants would die before I get a chance to kill them myself, lol

Jollyroger on Sep 05, 2014About air ferns. Looks like you got a lot of answers to "where to get them from" but I didn't see anyone answer the question "how to take care of them?" You can go on line and get several answers to that question. I finally settled on a very simple care plan. About twice a week I spritz them especially where the leaf meets the stem. I take them down and spritz each one and place it upright on a kitchen towel. After an hour or so I give them a gentle upside down shake which gets rid of excess water. I have repurposed some candle holders (the kind that hold tea lights). Air ferns are so light and will stay almost anywhere you put them . I have had most of mine for over a year and they are beginning to form new ones on the existing plant. Oh yes, cats seem to like to play with them so you have to be creative in your placement !Helpful Reply

PattyAnn on Sep 08, 2014CTS Airplants on Etsy has so many choices - you will be amazed at the variety. They come in great condition with specific instructions for their care. I have even received some that were in bloom. Airplants are in the bromeliad family and you can purchase food for them also from CTS - the prices are very reasonable. I don't mist my plants but found that they do better if I soak them in a bowl of water once a week for about 20-30 minutes and then lay them on a towel to dry. I can then also add the plant food to the water. Have fun with them.Helpful Reply
