Tillandsia are so-called epiphytic plants, meaning that they cling to organic supports (tree branches) but also inorganic ones (telephone cables, electrical cables, etc.) and " feed" on the ambient air ! Their leaves are covered with cells that allow them to absorb moisture, and runoff water provides them with the mineral salts they need.
Tillandsia are part of the Bromeliaceae family. They are found on the American continent, between Argentina, Brazil and the southern United States.
There are over 400 species ! All these plants are easily acclimatized in our climates as long as the temperature does not fall below 10°C (some species still resist -10°C!)
