Air Plants (Tillandsia): A Complete Guide to History, Care, Spiritual Meaning & Botanical Wonders
Air plants are a group of epiphytic plants, most commonly in the genus Tillandsia (part of the Bromeliad family). Unlike most plants, they don’t grow in soil. Instead, they anchor to other plants, rocks, or structures and absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves. Their remarkable adaptability and minimal care needs have made them increasingly popular in homes, offices, terrariums, and artful displays.
