What are Air Plants?<\/b><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”4713″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]The term \u201cAir Plants\u201d is generally used for plants that belong to the Tillandsia<\/i> genus; however, there are several types of air plants belonging to different plant families and genuses. In general, these plants are epiphytes (a Greek term, epi = on top of, phyte = plant), which means that they grow on other plants (usually, on tree branches) instead of in the soil, hence the name.<\/p>\n

Apart from this, air plants are recognized by their strap-shaped and tentacle-like leaves that grow in a rosette pattern from the center of the plant. Even though these plants grow on top of other plants doesn\u2019t mean that they take nutrients from these plants. The main sources of nutrients for these plants are air, water, and nearby debris.<\/p>\n

As houseplants, these specimens grow to be a bit smaller, typically reaching a height of 2 to 12 inches; however, in the wild, air plants can even reach heights of 7 feet.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
