This project wasn't exactly what I was planning. I wanted to make a light bulb terrarium and the light bulb was just too fragile. When I was working with the light bulb the top of it broke off. I didn't know what I would do - then I remembered that I had a mini propane torch. With all my manly might, I sparked the flame and melted the jagged edges of the bulb.
Once the bulb cooled off I noticed that I had an air plant that could fit into the opening. I put a bit of hot glue on the bottom of the plant and slid it into the bulb and adhering it to the center of the inside. I added some decorative rocks to hide the gluing. :0)
Air plants that little care - just a submersion in water once a week. The only problem I foresee is the need to make sure no excess water is inside the bulb. You can follow the instructions for this project here:
