airplant
Soilless botanical specimen
An airplant is a plant that grows without soil, drawing moisture and nutrients from the air.
Most airplants are epiphytes—they attach to trees or rocks rather than rooting in ground.
Tillandsia is the most common genus sold as houseplants: The airplants in her bathroom thrive on shower humidity.
