I think one plant every nature lover needs to know about is the air plant. Personally, I think it’s one of the coolest houseplants that you can have (of course I could say that about at least 20 other plants). Trust me when I say you’re going to want at least 5 of your own because they’re just so darn cute! Not to mention, they're so easy to care for it's almost impossible to kill them.

The cool thing about air plants is that they don’t need soil (which is why they’re called AIR plants, get it?) so you can put them literally anywhere. They were developed in my own backyard in a little corner of Rhode Island. To care for them, just spray them with water every few days and make sure they get plenty of sunshine.

The roots of a plant are very particular in their needs. They grow in the ground so they can absorb nutrients found in soil. Nutrients like nitrogen and potassium are SUPER important for plant growth, so it’s really mind-boggling as to how someone was able to develop a plant that doesn’t need to go digging for its food.

If you’re not looking to pay a fortune for a tiny little plant, you can always buy an air plant without any home and put it in whatever you want. For a regular-sized air plant, you might end up paying between $3-5. However, if you buy an air plant terrarium, it may cost about $15-20, depending on where you get it.
