Description | Air Plant Tillandsia Xerografica are epiphytes that live not on the ground, but on limbs, branches and rocks. Unlike parasitic plants that depend on the host for life, epiphytes use the host merely for support as they reach towards the sunlight. They are sustained by rainfall, moisture in the air, and decaying plant matter. |
