air plants
Rootless tropical specimens
Air plants are plants that grow without soil, absorbing water and nutrients through their leaves from the surrounding air.
Most are epiphytes—plants that grow on other plants or surfaces without parasitizing them.
The term often refers specifically to tillandsias, popular as low-maintenance houseplants: She mounted air plants on driftwood for the display.
