Airplants are Bromeliads that get their name from the fact that they grow not in soil, but instead attached to branches (epiphytically) and rocks (saxicolous). Their roots serve only to give the plants a firm anchor to whatever they are growing on. All of their moisture and nutrition is absorbed through their specialized leaves.

Air plant leaves possess tiny scales, properly called trichomes, that serve two major functions. First, they assist the plant in absorbing water and nutrients by holding greater amounts of water against the leaf surface for a longer period of time. Second, they help to reflect the intense sunlight off of the leaf surface that can be so common in their growing environment. These trichomes are what give many of the air plants their characteristic gray color.

It is often easy to determine the growing requirements a given plant needs by the appearance of the plant itself. Those that have a dense covering of scales on their leaves are most probably from an area with bright light and little water. Whereas a plant with more glossy leaves is most likely from an area of lower light and higher humidity. Although most Bromeliads can grow epiphytically, the family that we sell through our catalog termed "Air Plants" are members of the genus Tillandsia.

Note: Photos of plants below may be shown mounted for use in displaying the plants offered for sale. All air plants are sold as unmounted plants only.
