Growth habits of air plants

Air plants originally grow in tropical and subtropical rainforests or dry mountainous areas at altitudes of 100 m-5000 m, attached to tree trunks, rocks, and cliff crevices, with a few growing on cacti. Unlike other plants, they mainly absorb water through the silvery-gray hairy scales on their leaf surfaces. They do not need soil, nor do they need to be placed in water; spraying them with water is enough for them to survive.

Air plants tolerate drought and strong light, and a small number prefer humid environments. Most of the more advanced air plants look grayish-white because their leaf surfaces are covered with trichomes, which serve to reflect light, avoid sunburn, and prevent water evaporation. The more exposed they are to sunlight, the denser their trichomes become.
