Air Plants

Air plants grow without water. Many species of Tillandsia grow on trees and rocks and can absorb water from the air. These plants are often sold glued to a piece of wood. They can be pinned to drapes where they will get good light, and continue to grow without the need for water. A good idea is to mist them occasionally in the winter when the homes are very dry. The False autumn crocus is on sale in the summer and will flower the same fall if planted. It will also flower if placed in a bright window without being potted or watered at all. Plant it immediately, the flowers fade so it has time to make roots before winter.
