Description
Tillandsias, commonly known as air plants, are intriguing epiphytic bromeliads native to Central and South America. Unlike most plants, they do not require soil to grow. Instead, they absorb water and nutrients directly through specialised cells on their leaves called trichomes, allowing them to thrive while attached to trees, rocks, or other surfaces.
Air plants are celebrated for their striking diversity in shape, texture, and colour. Some varieties boast spiky leaves, others have soft, fuzzy surfaces, and some display dramatic, tentacle-like forms.
