Suspended Greenery Container for Airborne Plants
In a unique and stylish gardening project, gardening expert Nikki Tilley, with over three decades of experience, has crafted a floating air plant frame. This project, which can be executed using a variety of box-shaped frames, offers a chance to bring a touch of nature indoors.
To start, gather your supplies: a wooden box frame, tacks or small nails, twine, a plant mister (optional), driftwood or cork, Spanish moss, Reindeer moss, and Tillandsia plants.
Begin by hammering tacks halfway into the sides of the frame. These will serve as anchors for the twine that holds your plants in place. Wrap the twine around the tacks to secure them, ensuring a sturdy base for your project.
Next, add a decorative element to your frame by securing a piece of driftwood or cork using twine. This will add a natural touch to your floating air plant frame.
The number of air plants used in the project can vary depending on the size of the frame. Place the air plants between the twine, arranging them to taste. Once placed, mist the air plants to moisten the moss.
Spanish moss and Reindeer moss are added to the frame, interwoven with twine to hold them in place. This not only adds a lush, green appearance but also helps to secure the air plants.
When your frame is complete, hang it in an area with filtered or indirect light. If hanging the frame, leave extra twine for wrapping around the top corners to secure it.
Air plants are easy to care for, requiring a quick soak in water every couple of weeks and misting as needed. With their low-maintenance nature, they make an ideal choice for this project.
This floating air plant frame project was made possible using supplies from a MyGardenBox subscription. While no further gardening tips or videos are provided in this article, the project serves as a great starting point for those interested in indoor gardening.
Nikki Tilley has written six gardening books, making her the perfect authority on this DIY project. Her expertise shines through in the simplicity and elegance of the floating air plant frame. So, why not give it a try and bring a touch of nature indoors today?
