AIR PLANTS HOLDERS

All airplant holders are made from natural or recycled materials. This makes each one unique. The decorative elements - stones, shells,  sea glass - are collected on the beautiful Greek island of Crete. I design each piece myself and think through the manufacturing process in my home workshop.  

AIRPLANT CARE

Originally, airplants are able to live from the humidity in the air, which is why they are called so. It is a very strong type of plant, needing less care than most of the other type of houseplants. Airplants have little fuzzy grey/white hairs on their leaves, which are called trichomes. Via these structures, they are able to get the needed nutrients from the air in a very effective way. The humidity in their native areas is much higher than here, which is why air plants do need some care!

HOW TO CARE FOR AIRPLANTS?

• Spray your airplant regularly / soak your airplant. Specific information can be found below.
• Put your airplant in a bright spot, preferably with air circulation as it needs to dry off after watering
• Protect your airplant from frosts at all times
• Protect your airplant from direct sunlight (indirect sunlight is the best)

AIRPLANT IN AN OPEN ENVIRONMENT

In warmer months, it is perfect to spray your airplant once/twice a week. This can be done once every two weeks during colder months. Preferably spray your airplant with the Take Airplants care spray, which has the right fertilizers. It can also be done with water (preferably natural water, but hard water is also fine). Important is that airplants need time to dry off completely. In addition to regular spraying, soaking the airplants monthly is very much recommended. Feel free to read more about the ‘soaking method’ at the bottom of this page.

SOAKING METHOD

To make your airplants even more happy, it is recommdened to soak them monthly in a container with water (naturel water is preferred over hard water). Your airplants will suck up the water for a period of time. After 30-60 minutes of soaking, the airplants like to be put in a bright spot with good air circulation to dry off completely. You’ll see the airplants getting their strong and healthy look after that. Very important is the drying off process.
