Tillandsia is aptly called air plants. Being epiphytes, it needs no soil for nourishment. In the forests, mountains and deserts of Mexico, United States, Mesoamerica, the Caribbean and Argentina where it is native to, it clings to tree branches, barks, bare rocks; and in concrete jungles, it could cling to telephone wires or wherever conditions permit. My first two Tillandsia cling to beautiful, brightly painted man-made containers in the shape of a heart and a bird.
Which one do you fancy?
