[@BarbWalk]

Thank you so much for taking the time to produce a great video on these air plants. You did a wonderful job. Talked fast with the best information, didn't dilly dally around with unnecessary jabber. You gave us great information about these plants that was the best I have seen so far. Thank you so much.!

[@johnosam4681]

Old but gold, this is one of the DIY on how to display my airplants that I like.

[@shaunettebehr1464]

This was one of the first projects I tackled! Can’t believe it was 6 years ago 😳 Been a fan a long time, still enjoying each and every video you and Aaron put out

[@Genshinlmao123]

Good a newer comment. :)

[@lynlijalysbalderdottir4563]

It’s 2022 and you just had an unboxing of succulents where you received an air plant. In the Garden Answer Highlights channel you had questions about caring/displaying air plants. Well played Aaron! Loved the driftwood one the best!

[@KnorppandSouth11]

Looooove this! Can’t wait to fill my house up with these ideas! 🏡 🌿

[@austindunn5392]

I love all your videos I'm such a big fan and such a big gardener! watching your videos has opened me up to plants I've never thought on using before and I'm so happy i finally did! I have now started succulents and air plants and have had a blast designing new arrangements for them! keep warm in all that snow! i live in florida and my plants love this 80 degree wether!

[@cassandra364]

2022 learning copper wire is toxic to air plants!!!😳 Meanwhile… I’ve been hanging 2 of my air plants using copper wire🤦🏾‍♀️ Love your ideas will have to try some of them to display my collection. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@tammyterry]

Great ideas. Very simple, common sense, and clearly presented. Thanks!

[@dryb3301]

It took me pall the way to 2021 to find this on garden answers. Laura looks and sounds so different back then. Last part was hilarious 😅😅😅

[@pirrikko]

i used a pair of needle nose pliers to twist paperclips into small holders and hung my airplants in the window with fishing line. they look like they're floating! it's really really cute, i love how it looks

[@journimatters6905]

Love! Love! Love! I have never even heard of an air plant. I think even I can keep one of these alive...and they offer such a great way to decorate. I am going to try doing a wall feature that is really large in my bedroom. Thanks!

[@gardenanswer]

+Journi Matters So glad you found our channel, too!!! :) I would love to see a picture of your air plant creation when you get it done!!! They are great plants to start with! ~Laura

[@riosflowerpatch]

Great video! My husband bought me a cute live plant and I had no idea how to care for it, and now I do! Btw I love the outtake at the end, keep doing this!! lol

[@fathersdaughter173]

My Airplant is sitting uniquely on my plant table in a teacup display and now coming in bloom!

[@noahf3269]

I have been using copper wiring for the whole time I've had mine. This explains a lot.

[@sheilu74]

The best arrangements I have yet seen. And love how you explain the things... thank you...

[@gardenanswer]

+Sheilu Satyapriya Thank you so much!!! :)

[@Bunnyboo0227]

Holy crap I'm glad I saw this I just bought copper wire to use in a frame to hang my air plants! Jeeeeeeez that would have sucked haha. Thank you!!!!!

[@swtlee]

Thank you for this video! The sea urchin display is too cute and wanna try that display with my airplant - where do I get the urchin display?

[@c0l33ng0r33]

Thanks for your help. I do live in a similar area but zone 4 without any humidity. I've had my air plants for a year and they're doing well surprisingly in front of a west facing window but I do give them a bath more than once a week. I love to put dragons and gnomes on the cork i have them displayed on. I think I'll try making a fairy garden with them as well.

[@44ronie]

Copper is toxic to Air Plants.....I just bought a copper planter to display my air plants in, thanks for the info.

[@allystejero1445]

veronica beck yikes

[@johnjackson374]

Great video. I would also talk about watering i.e. Tap Water vs Bottled Water vs Distilled Water.

[@gardenanswer]

+John Jackson Good point. We plan to put together a more detailed video about how to take care of them, and I'll make sure to mention it! :)

[@AltmanPlants]

What a beautiful way to display Tillandsias. Well done!

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you! :)

[@sheriosborne7855]

wow Laura I never thought about air plants now I want some Thanks for this video.

[@sarahs5340]

Wow, you did such a good job on your vid! Best one I've seen and very accurate. I'm trying to make the wire stand for a larger air plant and you answered some of my concerns thanks.

[@55wolves]

All your films are so informative. I thought that sellers of the air plants were really wrong to glue plants so glad I was wrong.

[@cynicallysweet7441]

This video is literally exactly what I was looking for!

[@fatfox6706]

thank you! Never thought I could learn more about tillandsia,s but got a few new tips here! They're a wonderful hobby and a good 2nd income. I experimented with many glues because the hot glue gun burnt them and fell off alot. My discovery? Liquid Nail! It's ugly but I just press spanish moss on it while it's wet. Good luck!

[@JL-sw3sb]

This is most useful video on air plants display. Thank you.

[@mmorris338]

Found it! You are good in this informative video as you are in all of your videos!

[@tlgardens7598]

Great vid. I only heard about air plants today and found your vid very informative. Love the blooper at the end :)

[@stargage13]

this is a great video! I am really interested in starting to collect some air plants, they are so beautiful!

[@karenconklin8486]

Perfect ! Adorable. Do-able. Informative. Action packed. Good Job You ! :)

[@TechGardensarvesh]

Your videos are really awesome,

[@sherryhuffman8003]

I love your hose restrictor !

[@WayneTheSeine]

I love these plants and your ideas are awesome. My wife is getting tired of hearing "I need to get some of these"

[@chrismcclain5204]

Love your video!! I do have a question. I recently went to Tarpon Springs, FL and visited the sponge dock. The shops displayed air ferns on sponges. Now I'm curious as to how I would go about buying and caring for air ferns and keeping them on/in the sponge I bought. Thanks in advance for your help!!

[@dorothymutafopulos7460]

Great video thanks for info!!! I have 30 airplants and love them!! That reddish burgundy airplant colour is beautiful can you let me know what it is?

[@paulet990]

Why were you brushing off that spade bit with your fingers, young lady?! LOVE THESE AIR PLANT IDEAS!! Do stores like Home Depot have air plants? Is there a source where you can buy a bunch at once?

[@--frencess--7003]

thank you for sharing wonderful ideas i love it...hope to get one and started.

[@davemusicinca]

Amazing video and beautiful plants and arrangement. Only one day when I have more space and time I will definitely come back to this video. Do you know the ID for that large maroon Tillandsia? It is beautiful!

[@gardenanswer]

The large air plant is an Abdita 'Red form'. Isn't it beautiful!? Thank you for watching the video! :) ~Laura

[@davemusicinca]

Great, will be looking out for that!

[@fatfox6706]

Garden Answer try the "blushing bride" variety. ..very red. Pausifolia is purple! So many and so little time!

[@divinelotus19]

In my feed just as I finished your unboxing video that included air plants and succulents. The walls have ears. 🤣

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

Excellent job on the information on how to do this. Thank you.

[@avinashramdath620]

great work I recently found some air plants while looking for orchids and i started to collect them also your videos are very helpful can't wait to see more ideas from you✌

[@sheliarouch3169]

[@anyatapales]

Do you have a video on air plant care. If not can you consider making one? Thank you

[@gardenanswer]

+anna ville I don't yet, but I've had several people ask us to make one, so you'll probably see one sometime in the near future! :)

[@anyatapales]

Yay! Thanks I'm looking forward to it

[@SmyPonies]

anna ville yes, they made one

[@Lilyandmoomin]

Love the “octopus” idea…

[@cherrose100]

Well I hope that is not happening anymore Laura ... "everytime I do a video I get hurt" 😉 I was given an airplane the other day oh and some grandfathers whiskers ... I love these plants 🌱 they are so cool 😁🕊

[@maureenlehman139]

Thank you for such a wonderful video!

[@FDchick]

These are such a great ideas. Thanks Laura!!

[@Juhani139]

You are so creative! Love your videos, nice high quality. You have sparked my interest in succulents and now air plants. I look forward to more of your videos. Request: Could you give me some advice on how to propagate Agaves? I have a massive Agave with pups which needs to be removed since it is blocking the view and is a safety hazard near the road. I'm not sure the mother plant will survive being removed, since it's so huge. How can I save the pups (they are larger than watermelons in their own right) ? The ground is hard, rocky and dry. We're heading into the rainy season now. Should we do this after it rained and the soil is moist? Should I get garden services to do it ? I'm afraid they'll kill it. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@gardenanswer]

+Juhani139 Hello! I haven't put together a video on how to do this yet, so instead of trying to explain it all, here's a link to a video that is really helpful! :) ~Laura

[@Sobujer_Sondhan_BD]

Excellent idea & Excellent video thanks

[@dancingpinata9488]

Great job very Creative!!!

[@esthercorpuz7424]

So cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lexnico]

This is great little projects to do as home gifts.

[@gardenanswer]

+Nellie Tolentino Thank you for watching our video! :)

[@CandiceSuter]

Great video as I love airplants! I will be sharing this on my page Sweetstuff's Sassy Succulents! Woohoo!

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you, Candice!!! I'm so glad you liked the video! I'm going to go check out your page right now! :) ~Laura

[@CandiceSuter]

Awesome!

[@davidjibson4199]

Thanks for this info really cool How you display them.

[@maricorona7120]

I love your videos. Do you have any on caring for Spanish Moss? If you don't can you make one so I can learn how to better care for mine :?

[@gardenanswer]

I don't have a video on air plant care yet! In the future hopefully! I soak my moss once a week for about 30 minutes and mist it one or two times in between. We live in a really dry area, so depending on where you are at and the humidity levels, you may now have to mist as much! :)

[@maricorona7120]

Thank you soooo much for reply. I will try these tips :) Love your videos :)

[@rosegold1933]

Really good,i feel like want to change my air plant holder to frame

[@Ellofez]

I love display mine on crystal gems by using a cold glue gun or permanent fixing E6000 with a little moss and you got a glamtastic air plant ! To water just grab it and soak it in water with the crystal . Great videos love them . Cheers ! :)

[@gardenanswer]

Ellofez Thank you!!! I like your idea of displaying on crystal gems! Might have to give that a try! :) ~Laura

[@Ellofez]

Awesome a little bling goes a long way . Any time ! I saw it in one of the showroom at the world trade center that I help design.

[@coolkalang620]

YOU ROCK! 💖💖💖🌾🌾🌸🌾🌾🌾

[@ProgressiveDiscussions]

I never had any luck with Bulbosa or Caput Medusa, and Seleriana. The bulbous species. They always turn dark and die, and I do follow the general instructions.

[@wendyelleady2535]

Just got some. Thanks for show us this

[@GoldenArrow297]

Brilliant idea

[@edwardlittlefield447]

This is a really great video!!!

[@rajeev931]

i realy like your video & ideas are very creative.

[@LeVarThomas]

Thank you. Great mounting tips for a newbie like me.

[@gerdvian]

Great, you have exquisite taste.

[@dixieleighbeckert1272]

Petrified wood would be really pretty

[@EldaVareno]

How do you water them?! Thanks! These are really cool!

[@gardenanswer]

Hi Imelda! I soak mine in water for about 30 minutes once or twice a week, and mist them occasionally during the week. It's really dry where I live, so they need quite a bit of moisture. If you live somewhere with higher humidity, you won't need to water quite as much! :) ~Laura

[@katiehausknecht3012]

Where do you buy your air plants? They are beautiful! 😊

[@socialbutterfly2326]

Awesome really creative ideas !

[@astromanjack9624]

[@joycejoycebuns3610]

Can I add your video to my website? As videos I recommend your videos are very informative!

[@suebraschio6763]

My mom used to get air ferns I just love them I haven't seen any in years I would love to get some ... do you know if there are still some around ?

[@victoriamariafoggetta5964]

Laura as always yo are great!

[@michellemcgowan1030]

This is fantastic thankyou

[@mikeg9341]

Very informative!

[@Gangstalisous69]

These are so cool!

[@mgisselemgodoy6203]

Great video! I have a question about the leaves, some of them get dry, kinda burn like they don't are use to get water any more, shall we take the off? or just leave them? Thank you.

[@gardenanswer]

+mgisselem Drying on the ends of the leaves is usually a sign that they aren't getting enough water. I would go ahead and remove the dry leaves and up the watering a bit! Good luck! Thanks for watching!

[@aerohour]

thank you soo much for the video... very helpful

[@gbmgbmgbm4970]

incredible, thank you so much!

[@carmelianmontessori8980]

Beautiful... Love it 😄😄😄

[@FFKiwi1]

Hello there! Great great job!!! But I'm wondering, when you "soak" them to water them, how high is the water u sit it in? is it totally submerged?

[@gardenanswer]

+Lisa DeMayo Hello! It's really dry where I live, so I actually submerge my plants in water twice a week for about 30 minutes, and then mist them in between in the hot, summer months. I just make sure to let them dry upside down, so the water runs away from the crown of the plant, otherwise the water could gather and rot the plant. ~Laura

[@terismith6372]

Do you know of any good sources for driftwood? I love the driftwood arrangement!

[@gardenanswer]

I'm sorry, I don't! :( We always gather up pieces when we make trips to the coast! I wonder about some craft stores possibly?

[@paulet990]

Teri Smith - some pet stores have driftwood for reptiles & such.

[@wilowb01]

Addresses everything I wanted to know.

[@victorwilkenfeld7083]

If I were to make a drift wood display for my air plants, what would I do when they are in need of soaking? I want to add some moss as well, so If i do so, can I soak the entire piece of drift wood with the moss, air plants and the glue? I'd love to know how this is done.

[@emmachan3177]

thanks, any chance to make a vid on how to grow air plant from seed?

[@gerardshorticultureculture7579]

Great video

[@joerex2612]

love ur air plant display ideas as of now i own 3= n plan to collect more thanks my name is miles wife of jose

[@amandamuniz5490]

I bought some airplants and they were growing fine but lately their tips have been getting dry even though I water them often enough (once a week and spray them a bit in between). They are mounted on a piece of wood and tied down by a small plastic cover wire(not copper) since they have gotten bigger, can the wire be hurting the plants if it's tied to tight?

[@rahullsingh5]

Awesome ideas thnx dear

[@Inhshaver51]

Do air plants do well in a closed terrarium or only in an open one?

[@CarmenTorres-py9vf]

Wow you are a artiz thank you love the ideas

[@redredwine1277]

thanks again 🌹

[@samv9365]

quick and easy! thanks

[@gardenanswer]

+Sam V Thanks for watching! :)

[@felipearaiza2903]

Can I do this with bromeliad plants?

[@jennamurphy9614]

Do you know the genus of the air plant mounted on the circular disk? It's the one that kind of looks like the end of a fir tree branch?

[@ang5035]

omg so cute!!!!
