How to Mount Air Plants (Tillandsias) on Cork

This video is a follow up of the video all about Air plants (Tillandsias). Tillandsias are easy to mount. For this project you will need fishing line (1 pound test is fine), a cyanoacrylate glue such as E6000, cork, a screw eye if you plan to hang your creation and air plants. Mounted Tillandsias make excellent gifts and are very easy to care for.
The cork and the air plants you will be using must be absolutely dry before mounting. When mounting multiple air plants, the plants should be similar in their horticultural care requirements. Thin leaved Tillandsias require more watering than the thicker leaved ones, so thin leaved Tillandsias should be mounted separately from the thicker varieties.
How many Tillandsias you mount is dependent on the size of the cork you are using. You could mount many Tillandsias on a very large piece of cork, or a few on a smaller piece of cork.
When using a large amount of Tillandsias on a large piece of cork, the best method is to use glue. When mounting a smaller amount the fishing line gives beneficial additional support.
Mounted Tillandsias can either be displayed flat, or hung on a wall. Remember to display the Tillandsias in bright filtered light. An East or West exposure works best. They should never be displayed in full sun. For more information on Tillandsia care, watch the other video on Tillandsias.
