Let Your Plants Be Healthy and Your Home Trendy

Urban living may make people irritated easily. People search for new ways to get motivated and inspired. Many of them find this energy in the harmony of nature.

Combine using bromeliads with other botanical trend features: cushions with tropical prints, vintage botanical prints, interesting vases, and wall decorations. Together they will create an interesting mix, making your interior design appealing and trendy.

You may put bromeliads on the floor, windowsill, shelves. You may even have them floating in the air. To be more precise, using air bromeliads, you will create a peaceful and magical atmosphere.

Pink flower spikes of these air plants contrast nicely with a container or pot. Try out using wooden pots and glass terrariums. Wooden elements look more rustic. They are a great addition to the all-white interior. Glass terrariums look more fascinating. Floating in the air in groups, these plants add an element of contrast.

 

 

In nature, you will find air plants growing in trees. You may recreate the same look in your interior. For doing that you need a protected wooden post, sphagnum moss, and translucent fishing monofilament.

As these plants don’t have roots, they need regular watering. You should spray them twice a week. Provide plants with such amount of water so that these bromeliads will dry out in 4 hours. Don’t soak the base.

Bromeliads don’t live for a long time. They usually start dying back after flowering. However, you may remove offsets and pups, giving a new life to your favorite plants and a new look to your interior.
