I see them cropping up on home decorating sites, Pinterest, gift shops and much more. It’s easy to see why they are so popular as they add a fun design element to your indoor space.

I have not grown air plants before but you have inspired me! Thanks for giving me the confidence to try!!
I haven’t tried growing these but it does sound pretty simple. If I had a pair of them, I’d name them Clora and Phil and put them in my kitchen.
Hi. My sister & I got adorable rock monster planters with the air plants as hair. Somehow…she killed her “unkillable” airplants…this book would be perfect for her.
Your e-mail brought back a lot of wonderful memories! When I was 20 years old and living in Southern California, I had air plants in my home. Thank you so much, you have inspired me to go back to my happy roots!
Hi Noelle! Air plants are beautiful,and would be so fun to grow! I haven’t grown them before. Please enter me in the give away. Thank you so much!

Looks like a lot of fun! I have not tried growing air plants before, but I’m up for a new challenge.
Nope! Ive never grown them, but they look fun!
I have not grown air plants but would like to try. If they can live in Arizona, there’s hope they can survive in the Sahel.
I love air plants….I like to have a plant in every room of the house but my one small bath is challenging….but with an air plant I’m able to do it!!!!
Love air plants! Have had many over the years. Unfortunately, I seem to love them to death. I’m beginning to think it is just too cruel to continue my slaughter. Help!
Air plants look fun! No, I’ve never tried growing them. In fact, I’ve never heard of them. It sounds so easy. I’d love to give it a try!!!
My 12 yr. old granddaughter just bought an air plant. She did lots of research on their care and different varieties before she purchased her first one. Now I want one! This book would be a wonderful resource for her and me.
I have tried growing airplanes several times and managed to kill them, I can use all the help I can get.
Yes, I have. It’s a challenge though because in my cabin the humidity is only 23%. Lower than the Sahara Desert! At one time I had them directly over one of those mini indoor waterfalls everyone use to have.
Hi Noelle-
These look like so much fun! I have seen them but not grown them. They would look cute with my orchids…which I grow in the bathroom as they love the humidity. Would it be too humid for the air plants?
I enjoy your posts…thanks for being such a great resource.

I lookgrowing air plants
I have not tried air plants. I live in an rv and they might add some color.
They would be perfect for your RV Cindy! They don’t take up much room.
I have never tried them and now feel the urge! thanks.
I’ve always been fascinated by air plants, but have never given them a try. They look like they’d be fun.
I’ve never tried them, but think they’re my kind of plant! I don’t have the greenest inside thumb either.
Yes, I currently have 22 various species of Tillandsias and love them all. Every 2 weeks I soak mine in a dish of rain water for about 2 hours. That is all I do and, yes, no soil! They are very happy with this care. I have had many of them for more than 3 years.
