Tillandsias (Air Plant)



Tillandsia or air plants as they are known normally grow without soil. Moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air. They are often found in nature attached to other plants. Not parasitic, they only depend on them for support. All right, enough of that education spew, you can look it up on the net.
Got it from the local nursery for $5, platter from Target: $9, stones: Free (from the roadside).
Basically, its cheap, DIY and makes a good centrepiece. I only water it once a week or more if I remember. And for a person who is not too much of a green finger, this plant hasn't died on me after 3 weeks.
