Almost every plant sold as an “air plant” belongs to Tillandsia. Despite the marketing, these are not magical plants that survive on neglect. Most enjoy regular watering, bright light, and a bit of attention. Leave them forgotten in a dark corner and they will let you know. Reward them with proper care, though, and they produce spectacular tropical blooms. From steamy jungles to windswept cloud-top plateaus, the genus spans an astonishing range of lifestyles.
