Bartram's airplant
Tillandsia juncea
Bartram's airplant is a soil-free bromeliad that absorbs moisture and nutrients through its narrow, rush-like leaves — no pot or soil required. Place it in bright, indirect light and mist or soak it weekly, ensuring it dries fully afterward to prevent rot. It makes a striking display mounted on driftwood, in terrariums, or as a hanging accent in any bright indoor space.
