Produktbeschreibung

This beautifully illustrated guide to these striking yet simple plants "offers fresh possibilities" for home decor and more (Publishers Weekly). The incredible thing about tillandsias-a.k.a. air plants-is that they don't need soil. That means you can dangle or perch these easy-care plants almost anywhere. In this gorgeously photographed volume, artist and horticulturist Zenaida Sengo explores the creative design and décor possibilities of these curious plants. Air Plantsoffers a comprehensive introduction to tillandsias, explaining their unique qualities and easy care techniques. It also showcases creative ideas for displaying tillandsias-from unique containers, like dishware, leather bowls, and baskets to mounting them on walls and suspending from the ceiling. Six step-by-step projects include a wood mount, a wall hook, lasso-and-hook wiring, a ceramic-frame garden, and three unique terrariums. Sengo even shares ideas for living hair accessories and jewelry!

Autorenporträt

Zenaida Sengo is an artist and horticulturist in San Francisco. When she was an art student, her love of the natural world inspired her painting and drawing, and now in her tiny San Francisco apartment she suspends orchids and bromeliads from the ceiling and nestles them amidst other epiphytic plants, rocks, and minerals. She works with tillandsias at the acclaimed Flora Grubb Gardens, creating designs that integrate plants in and around the home. At other times Zenaida can be found farther afield, rock climbing and alpine camping in Northern California.
