Air Plants?
Does anyone have any air plants in their tort table? I'm looking at getting some, but i'm not quite sure what to attach them too or how to attach them? Any tips would be much appreciated

lol I work in a garden centre. You can glue them to more or less anything, we use a glue gun. The would look great attached to some bog wood or bark.

Airplant is the common name for the genus Tillandsia, a member of the Bromeliad family. All Tillandsia can grow without soil as they take all of their water and nutritional requirements through little scales on their leaves, known as trichomes. They are easy to care for just needing air, light and water. They just need a light spray of water daily.

I've tried air plants and my 2 just dragged them around their enclosure until there was nothing left. Look lovely for 3 seconds

I still haven't seen one, but perhaps won't worry too much unless I just come across one.
