airplants Archives - Urban Jungle Bloggers

Did you know that today is the “International Plant Appreciation Day”? Well as real plant lovers you might celebrate that day everyday just like us. But it is nice to highlight our green friends on a special day like today. And to make the celebration even more special for you, dear Urban Jungle Bloggers, we have teamed up with Evrgreen, a Cologne based plant webshop, founded by two young guys, Jan and Philip, who have decided to bring more happy greens into the homes of their clients.

To celebrate the ‘International Plant Appreciation Day’ together with Evrgreen and you all, we have opted for a pretty quirky plant that regularly gains your interest on Urban Jungle Bloggers: the Tillandsia or airplant. This is a genus of more than 700 species of blooming plants from Central and South America and bordering regions. They belong to the family of Bromeliaceae and most of them are epiphytes, that means they grow without soil by being attached to other plants. These quirky fellows have also become very popular houseplants for their unique looks and their minimal requirements regarding plant care: no soil needed, no plant pots needed, just air, light and some regular misting or a thorough bath in water!

But now let’s come to you, dear readers: We are giving away in collaboration with Evrgreen five airplants on Instagram! How to join in?

Come over to Instagram, follow our account (if you’re not already following) and leave a comment under the airplant image! The giveaway is open to all readers across the globe and will run until Tuesday, April 19th 2016 midnight CET. We will announce the five happy winners on Instagram on Wednesday, April 20th 2016. Join in & good luck!

And for all of you Evrgreen is offering a 25% discount today to celebrate the ‘International Plant Appreciation Day’. So why not add a new green roomie to your home like today? Just use the discount code #ETdP2016 in their webshop.

And now go give your plants an extra dose of plant love! Water them, mist them, repot them, play some music for them – simply enjoy a happy home with happy plants. And remember: Everyday is Plant Appreciation Day!

Airplants or Tillandsia are perfect plants for everyone who wants to inject some quick greens in the home without facing all the hassle of potting, repotting, finding adequate planters, finding space for the plant pots etc. Airplants are so easy and simple, they are actually a perfect way to start a little urban jungle if you are still reluctant with new plants in your home.

Airplants are called that way because all they seem to need is air. They are rootless and need not to be put into soil. You just keep them like that – the only requirement they have is to either spray them with water from time to time or let them sit in water for approximately one hour per week. You can also use a liquid fertilizer to spray on them from time to time. That’s all! But you don’t want your airplants to be scattered around your home just like that – you want them displayed properly. And that’s where Etairnity comes into play!

Etairnity is a Dutch webshop focused on airplants. They offer beautiful airplant ‘homes’ to make the most out of airplants. They aim to heighten the beauty of the airplants thus their ‘homes’ are simple and minimalistic made of wood. These are wonderful additions to any kind of interior styling. We love their simple, earthy and natural vibe. They also offer airplants in their webshop so if you feel inspired, you know where to look now!

We have teamed up with Etairnity for a giveaway so yes, two of you can win a set of three airplant cubes including airplants if you join the giveaway on our blogs: JOELIX.com and Happy Interior Blog.

All you have to do on our blogs is comment and answer the following question: What’s your favorite Etairnity product and why? Of course you can join in on both blogs to double your chances! The giveaway is open to all readers and runs until September 6th, 2015. Good luck!
