Ant Plant

When I was at the Orchid Show back in April I was intrigued by this little hanging plant. It has a climbing sort of habit to it, the tiniest little pink flowers and air bladders. It's called an Ant plant and the care is very similar to the air plants - misting or dunking in water once a week.

It's in a cute little shell with a hole drilled in the bottom so it doesn't retain any water. The leaves seem very soft and delicate for only needing a wee bit of water. That worries me but it's living in my kitchen window and I haven't killed it in the first month so that's good.
