Here’s a great plant for you non-green-thumbs out there—it’s a plant that gets its nutrients and water straight from the air! In nature it is an epiphyte, so it grows on top of other trees, however, it doesn’t normally hurt a tree unless it gets so thick that it blocks the sunlight out. You can grow it in your home placing it in decorative containers or hangings and just spritzing with water occasionally (or dunking in water). In nurseries it is sometimes sold as an “air plant”, though it is not a moss, but rather a relative of pineapples—a bromeliad.
