Air plants are one of the most unique plant varieties that you can add to your collection or gift to a fellow plant enthusiast. Their weird and wonderful ability to cling onto anything and grow without a trace of soil makes them the ultimate low-fuss beginner plant.
Tillandsia is commonly known as air plants because they absorb almost all their moisture and nutrients straight out of the air making them incredibly resilient and almost self-sufficient, besides the occasional need for care.
