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.
