Air plants are gaining popularity as houseplants as they are unusual looking and require little care.  They grow without soil and can be grown just about anywhere indoors that receives bright, indirect light.  You can grow air plants in trays, in terrariums, set them in sea shells, or on pieces of drift wood. 

Air plants (Tillandsia) are epiphytes belonging to the bromeliad family. Epiphytes are plants that grow harmlessly upon other plants or anything else they can sit on including rocks surfaces using their roots as a means of attachment and support.
