Air Plants

Air Plants (Tillandsia spp.)

Air Plants are quirky little plants that grow without soil, using specialized structures on their leaves to absorb water and nutrients from their surroundings. With tons of different shapes, textures, and sizes, they're perfect for displaying in holders, hanging arrangements, terrariums, or just about anywhere you want a little greenery.

They're easy to display, but they still need regular watering, good airflow, and plenty of bright indirect light to stay happy.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light, some gentle morning sun is fine
💧 Water: Soak thoroughly about once a week, adjust based on your home's conditions, then shake off excess water and allow the plant to dry completely upside down or at an angle
🌫 Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity with plenty of airflow
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 60 to 85°F, protect from frost and cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
⭐ Rare: No

Fun Fact:
Air Plants don't actually live on air alone. In nature, many Tillandsia grow attached to trees and other surfaces without stealing nutrients from their host, making them epiphytes, not parasites. 🌿✨
