Tillandsia Displays, Ideas, and Creativity
Air plants are awesome for creating attractive displays because they’re so adaptable and can be hung, glued, tied, or simply anchored to most objects in the home or garden. Having said that, do not hang or mount your lovely Tillandsias from/on copper objects as copper will eventually kill your air plants.
Shelves and bookcases are great options for displaying air plants. This allows you to showcase multiple plants in a single location, giving your room a lush and green feel. You can place air plants in decorative pots or simply arrange them on a shelf without a container. This is a great way to create a minimalist and modern look in your home.
Wall-mounted planters are a great way to save space and add a touch of greenery. They come in a variety of styles, from sleek and modern to rustic and natural, so you’re sure to find a design that suits your taste.
Wall-mounted planters are perfect for displaying individual air plants, or you can group several plants for a more impactful display.

A vertical garden is another awesome way to add greenery while maximizing space. Vertical gardens are perfect for air plants, as they do not require soil and can easily be attached to a wall or a piece of wood.
You can also create a simple vertical garden by hanging or mounting air plants from a wall-mounted frame or attaching them to a piece of wood with wire or string.
