Air plants are a unique type of flowering plant. They are scientifically designat as epiphytes, and as such naturally grow on other plants without acting as a parasite. In nature, they\ found in more tropical, but humid environments on the branches of trees. In fact, they have similar growing preferences to orchids and some species of ferns.
Air plants as we know them in artificial habitats are inconspicuous. so They are most commonly recognize as small, hand-sized or smaller plants, covered in a dusty coating of gray hairs, with anywhere from bright green and red to mild gray sprays of inflexible, linear leaves. However, in their natural environments, they grow impressively, up to more than ten times their size in indoor garden settings!
Like all angiosperms, air plants reproduce through flower production, pollination, and seeding. Their flowers are extremely beautiful, supported within the folds of their leaves or paraded on a stem. Furthermore, each blossom hints at the tropical background of this plant: brilliant purples, reds, oranges and blues that can last for weeks.
Because of their epiphytic nature, these plants have become very popular as houseplants. so They can be shipp without worry and their unrooted characteristic and beautiful blossoms allow for incredible creativity in the making of attractive air plant terrarium centerpieces.
