About the Air Plants
A smaller relative of the Bromeliad family, Air Plants produce a bulb-like base with thin to thick, curly leaves that are often silvery-grey to green, sometimes with pink or red coloring, and may produce a colorful flowering stalk. These plants are epiphytes, naturally growing on trees in the tropics, absorbing nutirents from the air, rain, and debris around them. As a houseplant, they can be grown in or out of soil, in small pots, hanging fixtures, or resting on a windowsill. A wonderful people and pet friendly air purifier.
