Over the last few years, I have picked up a few. My Grandma had one when I was a kid, and I was always intrigued with the idea of plants without roots.
I think they are in the Tillandsia genus, but never really looked it up, they did not come with names.
I dip them under the faucet maybe twice a week, more in hot weather. Once or twice a year I soak them in dilute miracle grow for 5 minutes.
How do you display yours?

#1 Has lived in this wall vase for years, grows slowly.
#2 I dropped it on the begonia, for lack of better idea- it has lived there quite happily.
#3,4,5 I got these "jellyfish" last month. They came in the sea urchin shell.The one on the left has made a flower bud. I couldn't help it, I have a strange sense of humor.
