Leave it to the awesome Flora Grubb Gardens to invent a clever new tool for DIY vertical gardens. Tillandsias (air plants, as they are more commonly known) are probably the only plant I can keep alive in my cold, sun-starved apartment. I’m so excited about this nifty little gadget that Flora has just invented: It is a simple metal form with three prongs and a sturdy screw-in base designed for holding air plants and securing to any kind of wall material: wood, cement, plaster — you name it. I think a set of these and some air plants would be the coolest holiday gift for friends and family. Click here to see more pictures and purchase the tool. — Kate

How simple and fun. I could totally see this in an entryway.
Love how the plants look against wood! Love how this nifty little holder makes it possible!
This is perfect! Especially since I just bought my first air plant on Fab the other day – now all I have to do is wait for the little darling to arrive. :)
These are amazing. So simple yet beautiful. Love ideas like this.
This is amazing, LOVE the look !
such a simple and beautiful idea. also, i am in love with the dresser in the first photo… any idea where it came from?
seriously, this has to be my garden. I live in a small cottage which is rustic & lovely, to be sure, but it doesn’t get a lot of natural light. And I’m not fabulous at looking after plants either! These look fabulous! Love that first shot with the textures of the plants against the smoothness of the wall.
She always comes up with something fantastic. Love this look.
What a fantastic idea. I think we could dub this ‘the invention that launched a million walls.’ I can’t wait to order some. Does anyone know the temperature ranges for air plants, if I wanted to put some outside as well?
Simple and functional! It brings a lot of ideas! I like these OPEN projects, that stimulate the creativity!
what a great idea– I wanted to put some plants in my small bedroom and these stars would be the perfect addition@
I absolutely love the simplicity of these unique gadgets! I WILL be using these to add some color to my apartment in the upcoming dreary months!
i freakin love this.
Cool idea! Makes the wall look more fresh and lively, and it’s so different from just hanging a painting or sticking wall stickers!
I live in FL. can the plants take any sun and heat?
