Air plants are epiphytes in the Bromeliad family, meaning they naturally grow on other plants or structures (like trees or rocks) rather than in soil. They are native to forests, mountains, and deserts of Central and South America.

Air plants do flower, producing colorful spikes and often fragrant blooms before the main rosette begins to produce offsets. Popular cultivated species include Tillandsia ionantha, Tillandsia xerographica, and Tillandsia caput-medusae. Find our care guides here!
