Description

Tillandsia, commonly known as air plants, comprise the largest genus of the bromeliad family (Bromeliaceae), with about 660 species. Fellow bromeliads include an array of colorful tropical plants, including orchids, Spanish moss, and pineapples. Air plants are epiphytes, meaning they attach to other plants or rocky substrates as a means of support. Their roots are used solely for attachment – rather than absorbing nutrients or water via roots. Air plants rely on the moisture in the atmosphere to grow and thrive. Growers Choice.
