What Houzz contributors are saying:
Because air plants can grow on any material, you can get really creative when it comes to displaying them. Look for items you already have around the house to repurpose. For this terrarium I used white navy beans from the grocery store. They function like rocks but have a clean, modern look with a superlow price tag.
7. Try a small DIY project. Air plants and succulents are having a real moment in design, and they have the benefit of being easy to care for. If you and your teen are in the mood to tackle a crafty project, I love this DIY air plant terrarium tutorial on Houzz. It's chic and easy, the best combination!

Materials: Glass bowl Gold spray paint (e.g KRYLON Metalic) Painter’s tape Craft knife Dried navy beans Air plant Air plants are easy to care for, but they still require some maintenance. Optimum locations are those with indirect sunlight. Some direct light is OK, but too much can make them dry out. Remove your air plants from the bean once a week to soak or rinse them in water. Spritz them with a spray bottle if they looking dry between soakings. Air plants can withstand periods of drought, but moisture helps them thrive.
