  • The White Urchin with Tillandsia Air Plant is a creative pairing of a natural sea urchin shell and a living Tillandsia, a genus of epiphytic plants in the bromeliad family native to Central and South America and the southern United States. Tillandsias are commonly called air plants because they require no soil to grow, drawing moisture and nutrients directly from the air around them. This combination turns an organic coastal keepsake into a miniature living display.

    The white sea urchin shell serves as a natural vessel, its rounded, textured form contrasting beautifully with the soft, arching green to silvery-green leaves of the Tillandsia nestled inside. The spiky, rosette-shaped air plant typically stays compact, reaching just a few inches in width, making it ideal for small shelves, windowsills, terrariums, or as a standalone accent piece on a desk or tabletop.

    This arrangement makes a charming gift and fits effortlessly into coastal, bohemian, or minimalist home decor. Because it needs no soil or pot, it is wonderfully versatile and easy to move around the home. This plant is best placed away from curious cats and dogs, and kept out of reach of young children to protect the delicate shell and plant.
  • Tillandsia air plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Place yours near a sunny window where it receives several hours of filtered light each day. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves. Fluorescent or full-spectrum grow lights also work well if natural light is limited in your space.

    Water by misting the leaves thoroughly two to three times per week, or by gently removing the plant from the shell and soaking it in room-temperature water for 20 to 30 minutes once a week. After soaking, shake off any excess water and allow the plant to dry completely within four hours before returning it to the shell. Standing water trapped in the base of the leaves can cause rot, so good airflow after watering is essential.

    No soil is needed for Tillandsia air plants. They absorb water and nutrients through tiny structures on their leaves called trichomes. The sea urchin shell simply acts as a decorative holder. If you ever want to display the plant differently, it can rest on any clean, dry surface or be placed in a terrarium, on driftwood, or mounted with safe adhesive.

    Tillandsias prefer temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 32 degrees Celsius). They appreciate good air circulation, so avoid placing them in sealed containers or stuffy corners. Keep them away from heating or air conditioning vents, which create dry, harsh airflow that can stress the plant. Normal household humidity levels are generally sufficient, though occasional misting helps in drier climates.

    Feed your Tillandsia once a month using a bromeliad or air plant fertilizer diluted to one quarter of the recommended strength. Apply it by misting the leaves directly with the diluted solution. Fertilizing is optional but encourages healthier growth and can prompt the plant to produce its colorful bloom when it reaches maturity.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11 | Minimum temperature: 25°F (-4°C)

    In zones 9 through 11, Tillandsia air plants can be displayed outdoors in a sheltered spot with bright, filtered light and good airflow during warm months. Bring them indoors when temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), as they are sensitive to cold and cannot tolerate frost. In cooler zones, they are best grown year-round as indoor plants near a bright window.

Incredible Life experience while hiking the PCT
Format: Paperback
As I began experiencing great stories about the "Camino" pilgrimage in Spain, books about "thru hikes" in the US seemed to find me too i.e. The Pacific Crest Trail, and did grab my attention for various reasons... "Journeys North"-- To me, this story makes it more than apparent, that if you want to learn about yourself and open your "vault doors" so to speak, and free yourself of personal challenges-hiking the PCT could help. This book on it's own, is a wonderful treatise about the PCT, and taught me much about being open and honest with others to include oneself, and about being grateful." This story "rings" of Freedom, is intense, and at times, raw. From the comfort of my living room... Frodo, Scout, Blazer, and company drug this old backpacker (me) a.k.a. "LightningLayne" along on a fantastic journey north clear from Mexico's northern border to Canada's southern one. Along the way, I noticed how the "goodness" in people replaces just about every negative the world throws in your face. Finally, I laughed, I cried, and even felt sorry at times for all the "participants." In the end, I was "grateful" for the individual and collective stories shared. This story is one that has burrowed in deep and is one I will never forget.

A community 3 feet wide and 2650 miles long
Format: Paperback
One of the aspects of long-distance backpacking on our National Scenic Trails that those who haven't done so are generally unaware of is the tight-knit sense of community that binds hikers together, even hikers who've never met. These folks are average people with a vast range of life experiences and circumstances, and not simply a generic array of "professional hikers" involved in some sort of athletic competition. In the "real world," you can know someone for years without *really* knowing them at all, but on the trail, a single day can feel like weeks, and months can feel like years. You can bump into someone in the morning, and have a new "old friend," soulmate, or savior by the end of the day. In "Journeys North," Scout brings this community to life on the page vividly and emotionally, drawing us into not just his own life and experience, but of many others in his trail family- all making that journey north in a literal way collectively, as well as in their own personal ways figuratively. Along the way, he relates the highs and the lows of not just life on the trail, but of life in the "real world" as well. It's a crash course in empathy, determination, and sometimes just plain stubbornness. When I received the book and flipped through it quickly, I was at first surprised at the lack of photos- just a single page at the end with a handful of shots of the "main characters." But as I read the book, I quickly realized that Scout's richly descriptive prose paints a far better picture than any actual pictures could, and was grateful for the space he made for my imagination to play a part in his story. While no book could ever substitute for the actual experience of hiking a long trail, "Journeys North" serves as great inspiration for those who aspire to, as well as reassurance for their friends and family that they won't simply be disappearing into the wilderness alone.

If you are thinking of the Camino, This book is for you!
Format: Kindle
I just had a friend who walked 32 days on the Camino, and I chose this book to learn more about what it would be like. This was an excellent choice. The author outlines what pilgrims can expect and how to prepare for the experience. I had not realized there are six paths: The French, Northern, English, Portuguese, Orrigonal, and Silver Ways. It turned out that my friend was on the Portuguese way. The different paths range from three hundred to a thousand kilometers. The author goes through each of the "ways" and does a daily highlight of the number of kilometers one walks and the sights to expect. This book whetted my appetite to consider a walk like this; it would be a great resource for any pilgrim.
