SLIGHT SECOND Pink spotty jellyfish

SLIGHT SECOND - the pink spots came out with texture.  You can’t see it from a distance only up close!

My ceramic airplant holders are thrown on my potters wheel.  I then trim them to shape, carve texture or add eyes before bisque firing them.  They are then glazed and go through a glaze firing.  The whole process which takes approximately 4 weeks from first wedging the clay to the final fire.  All my items are perfectly imperfect which adds to the handmade nature.  The ceramic section is approximately 2-3”.   The airplant measures approximately 10cm (including the section in the planter).

Airplants are a relatively low maintenance plant that doesn’t require soil to grow.  In their native environment airplants are able to live from the humidity in the air, which is where their name derives from.  Airplants have little fuzzy grey/white hairs on their leaves which are called trichomes. They use these trichomes to get needed nutrients from the air around them.  They do need some care though as the humidity in their native areas is much higher than our homes. 

How to care for airplants?

• Spray your airplant regularly / soak your airplant.  During winter they only need misting every couple of weeks, or weekly during the summer months.  
• Put your airplant in a bright spot, preferably with air circulation as it needs to dry off after watering
• Protect your airplant from frosts. 
• Protect your airplant from direct sunlight (indirect sunlight is the best)
