My Airplants are blooming, so I am very happy to share the pictures of these colorful steem blooms of red, yellow and purple!
They are also commonly known as airplants because of their natural propensity to cling wherever conditions permit: telephone wires, tree branches, barks, bare rocks, etc. Their light seeds and a silky parachute facilitate this spread.[3] Most Tillandsia species are epiphytes – which translates to 'upon a plant'.[4] Some are aerophytes, which have a minimal root system and grow on shifting desert soil.

They have naturally been established in diverse environments such as equatorial tropical rain forests, high elevation Andes mountains, rock dwelling (saxicolous) regions, and Louisiana swamps, such as Spanish moss (T. usneoides), a species that grows atop tree limbs. But there are also species that live lithophytic, so on rocks (but also roofs and even telephone wires).

Conclusion:
These are hardy and versatile plants. They can be used in various ways in your garden on walls or gates. But they can also be hung on both living trees and other constructs from dead wood to create living art. They are a great addition to any garden.
