Airplants (Tillandsia)

Tillandsia and pineapple are cousins, and they belong to the bromeliad family. Tillandsia is the largest genus in the bromeliad family, having over 650 species. Most are native to the forests, mountains, and deserts of Central and South America.

Due to its epiphytic nature of no soil and hanging in the air, Tillandsia is commonly known as airplant.
