Apothecary Aerium - Air Plant Terrarium - Pistils Nursery

This kit contains everything you need to build your own aerium: a glass apothecary jar, tillandsia air plant, and a variety of natural moss, sand and rock.
These small-scale glass aeriums are simple, sleek and elegant. Called aeriums rather than terrariums because they house Tillandsia air plants, these artistic creations liven up any tabletop, shelf or windowsill. Classic apothecary jars make the perfect homes for these botanical curiosities; to create an Apothecary Aerium is to design a tiny universe entirely unique. Air plants need no soil to survive, and they absorb moisture through their foliage, which makes care simple; simply remove the air plant from its container, soak in room temperature water, and allow to drip dry. Specifications 250 mL / 2.5 x 5.25500 mL / 3.25W x 6.5H The piece comes as a kit with detailed care and assembly instructions, and includes a Tillandsia air plant, a glass apothecary vessel with lid in your choice of size, and well as a mix of natural materials such as sand, pebbles, lichens and mosses. The accompanying photographs depict typical aerium compositions. Feel free to make special requests.
