Learn about Air Plants!

Air plants or Tillandsia are a very common soilless houseplant. They are known for being low maintenance and are pet friendly. 

These plants are native to North and South Americas and will actually only bloom once in their lifetime.  

Tillandsia collect water and nutrients through specialized cells on their leaves called trichomes, it actually gives them their fuzzy or hairy appearance.
