Collection: Air Plants

Tillandsia or air plants belong to the Bromliad family,  they are the most widespread type of bromeliad. With over 600 species currently known.   They are found anywhere and everywhere from dry deserts to humid rain forests and harsh mountain regions of southern parts of the United States, Mexico, Central and South America. In these often difficult, habitats they have developed into plants that don’t need much water.

Tillandsia are epiphytes they do not have roots, live without soil and take in water and nutrients through their leaves. If they are happy where they are, they will send out small, wiry anchor roots to hold them in the favourable situation that they find themselves in. They can live quite happily on trees and other plants without taking anything from them, and are just as happy to live on nothing,
