About Air Plants aka Tillandsia
Tillandsia is a genus of plants in the Bromeliaceae family that includes over 650 species of epiphytic and saxicolous plants, commonly known as air plants. Tillandsias are native to the Americas, particularly Central and South America, where they grow in diverse habitats such as deserts, rainforests, and mountains. These plants are known for their unique ability to absorb nutrients and moisture through their leaves from the surrounding air and do not require soil to grow.
Tillandsia Tectorum Ecuador
Popular Premium Plant
Tillandsia Tectorum is a premium air plant native to Ecuador and Peru, where it grows in large populations on Andean cliff faces and outcroppings. Its unique appearance, characterized by large fuzzy trichomes, has made it a favorite among plant enthusiasts. Its form is the result of adaptation to extreme Andean conditions, including exposure to bright light. The variability of climate and elevation in its native range contributes to significant variations in size.
