Overview

Air plants, also known as tillandsia, are some of the easiest plants to grow, which helps explain why they’re popping up in stores across the country and appearing in magazines, on blogs, and all over Pinterest. The amazing thing about air plants is that they use their roots to anchor themselves to an object, which allows them to grow in a variety of locations naturally. This flexibility of growth makes air plants ideal for decoration of home and office.

While air plants are known for being easy to grow, they still do need attention to survive and live a healthy life. If taken care of, tillandsia will live for several years and will even provide “pups” for additional years of enjoyment! Authors Meriel and Ryan Lesseig are air plant enthusiasts who turned their passion into profit with Air Plant Design Studio, an e-commerce site that sells all things air plants. Here they share tips for properly caring for air plants as well as inspiration and instruction for a myriad of ways to use air plants to enhance your space or event, including air plant wedding bouquets, wall art, terrariums, wreaths, and more.

Air plants can enhance the design of any space, big or small. This beautiful, inspiring and practical guide is the perfect introduction to the wacky, hip, gorgeous world of air plants.

About the Author

Ryan and Meriel Lesseig’s love of air plants started on a trip to Saint Augustine, Florida, when they were wedding-venue hunting. They stumbled upon some air plants in a shop and were immediately taken aback by their unique beauty and the endless decorating possibilities that came along with them. They decided to create a business that would allow customers easy access to these exotic yet hearty plants, and one that reflected their personal style and design. Air Plant Design Studio was born. Their mission is to bring the natural beauty of air plants into more homes across America. Visit them at air-plants.com. They live in Tampa, Florida.
