This particular lamp is a glowing nest of eighty live Fushii Gracillis Tillandsia air plants mounted to a blown glass orb.Kept alive by an energy-efficient compact fluoroscent light,these plants survive with no dirt-just UV,air and a little bit moisture.No problem if you don’t have a green thumb:the plants just need a spritz of water once a week!!
