Air plants are an exotic type of
epiphytes from the Bromeliad family. They are native to the forests, mountains
and deserts of northern
 |
Mexico and south-eastern United States,
Mesoamerica and the Caribbean to mid Argentina.
They are popular as decorative plants requiring
minimal care. Most Tillandsia species are epiphytes –
which translates to 'upon a plant'. They are also commonly known as Air
plants. Local market prices range from RM15 to over RM250.
