All About Airplants & a Quick Shell DIY

Air plants, also known as Tillandsia, are fascinating plants that don't require soil to grow. 

They absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves, making them unique and ideal for indoor or outdoor decoration.

My outdoor space has a clear-cover roof over the seating area for year-round use.

(No snow in my part of New Zealand).

It has a tropical feel with the throw cushions, cane couch and tropical gardens.

So I decided an air plant in a shell would be the perfect addition to the outside decor.

It is a very easy DIY to create.
