The rosemary is trained and trimmed into a neat topiary form, then mounted in a handcrafted kokedama, creating a display that is as beautiful as it is fragrant and functional.
Run your fingers through the needle-like leaves and release that unmistakable, resinous, pine-like fragrance that has been used in kitchens and gardens for centuries. This is a gift that delights all the senses.

Species: Rosmarinus officinalis — culinary rosemary
Trained into a neat topiary form — a living sculpture
Intensely fragrant needle-like leaves with a resinous, pine-like scent

Fully edible — harvest sprigs for cooking as needed
💧 Plant Care
Light:Full sun to bright indirect light. Rosemary thrives in bright conditions and Nairobi's sunny climate suits it perfectly.
Watering:Allow the kokedama to dry out well between waterings. Soak for 10–15 minutes then drain fully. Rosemary prefers to be on the dry side — overwatering is the most common cause of failure.

The Ultimate Clumping Air Plant for Stunning Living Art
If you're looking for an air plant that becomes more impressive every year, Tillandsia bergerii is one of the finest choices.
Unlike many air plants that are prized for their flowers, Tillandsia bergerii is loved for something even more spectacular—its ability to develop into large, dense clumps containing dozens, and eventually hundreds, of individual plants.
In Kenya, this species does not flower under normal growing conditions, but it continues to produce offsets (pups), gradually transforming into an extraordinary living sculpture that becomes more valuable and more beautiful with age.
Whether displayed on driftwood, suspended in a hanging display or showcased as a collector's specimen, Tillandsia bergerii creates an ever-changing piece of Living Art.

About the Included Tillandsia bergerii
Native to Argentina, Bolivia and neighbouring regions of South America, Tillandsia bergerii naturally grows attached to trees and rocky outcrops where it enjoys bright light, moving air and seasonal rainfall.
Its slender silver-green leaves create attractive rosettes that continually produce new pups around the base.
Unlike many flowering Tillandsias, the real beauty of Tillandsia bergerii lies in its incredible clumping habit.
Under good care, a single plant can eventually develop into a large cascading cluster containing dozens of interconnected plants.
In Kenya, Tillandsia bergerii rarely flowers under normal growing conditions. Instead, it invests its energy into producing larger and larger clumps, making it one of the most rewarding air plants for long-term collectors.

Caring for Your Tillandsia bergerii
Light
Provide early morning sunlight followed by bright indirect light.
Watering
For Nairobi, Thika, Kiambu, Athi River, Nakuru and Eldoret, spray daily.
For Mombasa, Diani, Kilifi, Watamu and Malindi, watering every other day is generally sufficient.
Allow the plant to dry completely before nightfall.
Fertiliser
Apply NHance Seaweed Fertiliser every two weeks to encourage vigorous growth and offset production.
Leaf Care
Clean the foliage monthly using diluted Achook Neem Oil to help maintain healthy leaves.
Why Tillandsia bergerii is Special
Unlike many ornamental plants that remain the same size, Tillandsia bergerii continues to improve with age.
Each year it produces additional offsets, gradually creating larger and denser clumps that become increasingly valuable.
Many mature specimens displayed in botanical collections around the world are decades old and contain hundreds of individual plants growing together naturally.
This makes Tillandsia bergerii an excellent investment for collectors who appreciate plants that become more impressive over time.

Every driftwood holder is individually handcrafted, meaning each display is completely unique and impossible to replicate.
About the Included Tillandsia bergerii

Why Tillandsia bergerii is Different
Tillandsia bergerii is one of the most rewarding air plants for patient growers.
Rather than flowering in Kenya, it channels its energy into producing an ever-increasing number of offsets. These pups gradually develop into dense, sculptural clumps that become more spectacular every year.
A mature specimen can completely cover its driftwood base, creating an extraordinary display that continues evolving for decades.
