Handcrafted Living Art That Celebrates Nature
Bring the beauty of tropical forests into your home with our Tillandsia balbisiana Air Plant mounted on natural driftwood, suspended from a handcrafted jute-wrapped metal wire and supplied complete with a sturdy S-hook for effortless hanging.
This elegant Living Art display combines the organic beauty of naturally weathered driftwood with the sculptural form of Tillandsia balbisiana. Every piece is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two displays are ever exactly alike.
Whether displayed on an apartment balcony, veranda, covered patio or indoors near a bright window, this hanging display creates a stunning botanical feature that continues to grow and evolve over time.
About the Included Tillandsia balbisiana
Included with every display is a healthy Tillandsia balbisiana, one of the most distinctive and elegant members of the air plant family.
Native to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean, Tillandsia balbisiana naturally grows attached to tree branches, absorbing moisture and nutrients directly through specialised leaf scales instead of soil.
Its long, twisting green leaves create a dramatic sculptural appearance, while mature plants produce striking red flower spikes followed by delicate purple flowers.

Handcrafted Natural Driftwood Hanging Display
Each hanging display is individually handcrafted using carefully selected natural driftwood.
The hanging system features:
-
Strong metal wire for durability
-
Hand-wrapped natural jute for a rustic finish
-
A sturdy S-hook for quick and secure hanging
The natural driftwood provides excellent airflow around the plant while enhancing its organic beauty. Every piece of driftwood has its own unique shape, grain and texture, making each display a one-of-a-kind piece of Living Art.

Caring for Your Tillandsia balbisiana
Maintaining your Living Art display is simple.
Light
Hang in a location that receives early morning sunlight followed by bright indirect light throughout the day.
Watering
For Nairobi, Thika, Kiambu, Athi River, Nakuru and Eldoret, spray the plant daily.
For Mombasa, Diani, Kilifi, Watamu and Malindi, watering every other day is generally sufficient due to the naturally higher humidity.
Always allow the plant to dry completely before nightfall.
Fertiliser
Apply NHance Seaweed Fertiliser every two weeks to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
Leaf Care
Wipe the leaves gently once a month using diluted Achook Neem Oil to help keep the foliage clean and healthy.
