Air Plant

Air plants are evergreen plants that grow amidst tropical rainforests, mountains, and deserts. They are capable of drawing a lot of water through their long, pointed, silvery leaves and as such are capable of growing on surfaces other plants cannot, such as bare rocks, tree branches, and shifting desert sands. The peculiar growing habits of this plant have granted it associations with flight and metaphysical abilities.

Geology & Geography

Air plants favour substrates which drain quickly, allowing them to absorb moisure through their leaves without being waterlogged. The environments that meet these conditions are typically tropical rainforests, mountainsides, and deserts. Air plants will almost never grow in soil, but instead will germinate on trees, bare rocks, or even on the desert sands.
