‘The Planter Pod’ is a small business located on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria. Thanks for donating a wonderful Macrame hanger as part of the Kreo Home #localisthenewblackgiveaway
Karri Flood creates unique air plant terrarium pods and original macramé wall pieces to hang and feature air plants….just stunning! I’m a 70’s child …. love a bit of macramé in my home!
Inspired by an inability to keep indoor plants alive, Karri found air plants a breeze to look after. Uniquely beautiful, she uses them to create sand terrariums inspired by her beautiful coastal home.
I am lucky enough to have the most stunning terrarium at my home from Karri, I’m a bit of a ‘plant killer’ so I’m giving the air plants a try, fingers crossed!
A little bit about Karri…..
“I live on the Bellarine Peninsula but grew up in Central Victoria so I draw my inspiration from both the coast and the bush. I love using rocks which remind me of the goldfields and I use sand, gumnuts and shells instead of the usual soil, succulents and mosses. It’s also really important for me to be gentle on the environment. I don’t forage or use animal products or corals and only use sustainably sourced shells, sand and rocks. My packaging is also recyclable.”
Air plants are super hardy, don’t need soil or fertiliser and only require indirect sunlight and a weekly squirt of water to thrive! They come in many different shapes and sizes and throw beautiful flowers at random times.
I love to have ‘living things’ in my home, flowers, indoor plant or succulents are usually my choice. If you look at the styling of your room and think ‘something is missing’, it’s probablplant of some kind!
“I love how men, women and children all get a kick out of my pods. Kids treat them like little pets. It’s rare to find something which appeals to such a wide audience. It’s seriously the perfect gift!”
Karri has also recently launched a new range of DIY Pod Kits for children featuring animal figurines to ignite little imaginations….these are fabulous!
