Tillandsia is a genus of plants commonly known as air plants. They belong to the bromeliad family and are native to the Americas, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. These unique plants do not require soil to grow; instead, they absorb moisture and nutrients through their leaves from the air and rain. Air plants come in various shapes and sizes, making them popular for decorative purposes. They thrive in bright, indirect light and require regular misting or soaking in water to stay healthy. Tillandsia can be displayed in creative ways, such as in terrariums or mounted on wood, adding a touch of greenery to any space.
