Air Plants at a glance
Air Plants are beautiful, low maintenance plants that require no soil to grow! Native to South and Central America, they uniquely tend to grow within the cracks of tree trunks or branches. They thrive in bright, indirect light and enjoy the occasional misting if they’re in high humidity environments. To water them, place the air plant in a bowl of filtered water for about 20 minutes once a week.
