    Our newest passion at Airplantman is the Kokedama, a fresh take on traditional 17th century Japanese bonsai. Sculptured bonsai trees originally were displayed in handmade pottery or pieces of driftwood. When it was discovered a rootbound bonsai's roots held their shape even when the plant was removed from its pot, the new moss-covered-roots style was born. Next came a more modern version known as 'string gardens,' where a...

Airplant Roots People are often confused as to why airplants have roots if they gather all their water and nutrients through their leaves.  Used primarily for securing a happy Tillandsia to its perch in nature these roots ensure the plant remains safely in place during high winds or heavy rain.  In cultivation an airplant can be secured using a variety of techniques so these roots are unnecessary and can be...
