Tillandsia, or air plants, are admired by plant hobbyists for their beautiful silver-green colour and form.  These epiphytic plants have minimal maintenance requirements and do not need soil to grow. Join us to learn about the characteristics of air plants and their native habitats, as well as how to make them flourish.
