Air Plants

Air plants, also known as Tillandsia, grow on other plants but are not considered parasitic as they obtain water and nutrients from their surrounding environment. Part of their appeal is that Air Plants do not require soil or a pot. These plants can survive for long periods of drought but will not thrive (and will eventually die) if water is too scarce. Air plants are becoming increasingly popular due to their small size and amazing versatility.
