We are using white rocks for our version of this air plant holder but you can definitely change it up with different colored rocks. Look for aquarium rocks for a wide variety that will enable you to match this project to your home’s decor.

They’d also make lovely coastal decor by adding sand, seashells, and starfish inside instead of plants.
