As shown in the above photo, one of the most popular ways to display air plants is in a terrarium. These can come in all shapes and sizes but are usually formed from glass to allow you to see the plants from all angles.
Hanging airplants
Another creative way to show off your air plants is to hang them in shells to resemble jellyfish. It's a quirky design, with the plants becoming the tentacles of the jellyfish, and it certainly will become a talking point in any room.
