Air plants
We’ve told you about terrariums as ornaments and rings that require watering so why not add air plants to the mix? I mean, aside from the fact that telling people you grow air plants (scientific name tillandsia) is an awesome conversation-starter, if you are creative like UNAODD, the blogger behind the skull/air plant wall hanging above, they make for a rad non-traditional decoration. Additionally, air plants are the perfect plant for anyone who has a knack for killing things, because they require almost no water and obviously, no dirt. You can basically stick them on or into anything to add a little green to your life. Here’s a list of 10 ways the folks over at Apartment Therapy displayed their air plants, though I believe that they could learn a thing or two from UNAODD in regards to thinking outside the tiny glass container.
Those might be perfect for me. I’m so forgetful about watering that I’ve managed to lose almost everything except for some succulents like aloe vera and some ivy.

Tillandsias DO need water- they need to be soaked for hours a week when they are in a dry indoor environment… That being said, I LOVE them in the cow skull! They look amazing!
