Basic information
Name: Air Plant
Location and Habitat: humid rainforests, high cloud forests, deserts, coasts, and mountain sides
Scientific name: Tillandsia
Air plants are found in northern Mexico and south-eastern United States, Mesoamerica and the Caribbean to mid Argentina. They are a tropical plant that usually live high up in the trees but can be found clinging to rocks in deserts. They hold onto the branches of the trees by their roots. Even though Air plants attach themselves to the tree, they are completely independant, they gain their own nutrients from the air and collect their own water when it rains and collects upon their leaves.
