The so-called ‘Airplants’ group of plants certainly includes Tillandsia aeranthos, which flowers abundantly without any visible roots. With its dark purplish-blue flowers between intensely pink-coloured bracts, they stand out and are a feast for the eyes. Together with T. bergeri, they are among the easiest species to grow, especially for novice collectors, and can be hung in full sun with many other Tillandsias outdoors in summer, on pre-tensioned and secured wire or on branches of a woody plant. However, it is recommended - especially during dry and hot weather - to water the plants regularly.
