I don't think I blogged about this already if I did.. I'm hope you enjoy it again! :) I found these air plants on
Etsy:
I thought they were the coolest thing since sliced bread! I kept saying that I would buy one and put it on my desk at work. I have yet to buy one. I know I know I should do that. Every office needs a little life, color, and interest. Remember I wrote about how the color
green inspires creativity? Everyone needs a little green in there life.
Air plants are known as epiphytes...plants that absorb what they need from the air through their leaves, not through their roots.
They are unusually hardy, surviving temperatures from 35 to 120 degrees.
They are able to tolerate long periods without water, but it is also difficult to over water them.
They do not need direct sun.
Their flowering process is very colorful...Some airplants turn pink, red or orange prior to blooming.
After blooming the plants reproduce 1-8 offspring from the side of the mother, which can later be separated.
You can put them in anything...seashells, teacups, empty vases, driftwood...many people like to hang them on fishing line. These truly are a perfect gift for plant lovers and for people who can't grow anything. Airplants

My cousin Rachel would love this!
I can't decide what I like better- the fact that you can't kill them or the awesome containers they come in. Probably the containers!
