Exploring Unique Air Plants: Soil-Free Houseplants That Thrive Anywhere

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Air plants, part of the Tillandsia genus, do not require soil and are easy to care for, making them unique houseplants.
  • Natively found in tropical regions, these plants cling to surfaces and absorb moisture through specialized cells called trichomes.
  • For optimal care, they need bright, indirect light and should be soaked weekly in water, especially in dry environments.
  • Air plants bloom only once, producing small flowers before dying, but they can generate offsets, known as "pups," for new plants.
  • With over 500 species available, air plants can be creatively displayed in glass globes, on rocks, or even suspended from fishing lines.
