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.
Perfect for moss walls, moss bowls and other art and craft projects.
The genus Tillandsia belongs to the family Bromeliaceae and is made up of approximately 650 different species of evergreen, perennial flowering epiphytes. In their native environment across northern Mexico, the south-eastern United States, Argentina and the Caribbean, they can grow on almost any surface in the deserts, mountains, woodlands, and tropical rainforests.
There is a diverse range of air plants available with a vast variety of shapes, sizes, and textures that can create pockets of tropical wonder within the home. If well taken care of, as these mysterious plants reach maturity they will reward you with a magnificent bloom of colourful, exotic flowers.
So whether your want to build a terrarium, add to the collection of plants in the bathroom or just get started taking care of your first plant, air plants are the perfect place to start and won’t leave you disappointed.
