  Air plants are unique plants that do not need soil to grow. There are many unique options for displaying air plants. I made this air plant display with an old window we had sitting in our storage unit. I used chicken wire and did every other window. I used a staple gun to attach the chicken wire to the window frame.I gently placed the bottom of the air plant through the holes in the chicken wire. Some air plants grow roots that help them anchor themselves to objects.  I will be getting picture frame hooks to attach to the back so I can hang this on the wall. This display will be able to hold a lot of air plants of different shapes and sizes.  Air plants can be watered two different ways. You can mist every other day or you can soak them in water for an hour every 2 weeks. Once you have watered your air plant leave it in a place it can get good air circulation and dry with in 4 hours. They prefer bright indirect light. Once they bloom they will start to die, but the...

Succulents need good drainage to stay healthy, since they are prone to root rot. I planned to put it outside so I filled it with a gritty soil mixture 2 parts chicken grit 1 part succulent and cactus. I used jelly bean succulents, ogres ear, and string of pearls to make one arrangement. The white truck has ogre ears, sedums, and chocolate soldier. Then I used tiger tooth aloe, aloe vera, climbing aloe, and lace aloe for the red truck.  The succulents I used all have similar light and watering needs which is important when making a succulent arrangement. If there needs are very different all of your plants will not be able to stay healthy in the same arrangement. You can use whatever succulents or cacti you would like just make sure their needs are similar.  This white truck is...
